As we count down to Christmas, the lions, tigers, horses, pigs and other residents at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary are enjoying more presents than ever before – from gingerbread men, stars, and stockings made from recycled coffee bags filled with hay and catnip, to cardboard trees and reindeer, and cardboard boxes to tear open.

Please enjoy these pictures as a special THANK YOU for helping to transform the lives of these animals – taking them from tiny circus cages or discarded trophy pets, to their new lives in Africa. On Christmas Day, check out our special video of all the fun http://www.youtube.com/ADITV-animalsVideos

SANCTUARY FUNDRAISER UPDATE: Huge thanks to every one who donated to our appeal for waste disposal and ‘grey’ water recycling and filtration systems at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary. Including the wonderful $50,000 match fund from Big Cat Rescue we have raised $103,583 towards our total of $125,600. We still need to raise $21,764. The Rick and Michele Palmer Animal Relief Fund has now offered an additional matching grant $1250 – so all donations received before December 31, 2024, can now be matched to this.

Anything extra we raise will go to caring for our rescued animals in 2025.

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas, and best wishes for New Year.
