Since arriving back at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary Muheeb has remained playful, is active, eating and eagerly coming to take his medications in a little treat. Here is Eleanor Roots, Resident Welfare Trainee, giving Muheeb his meds on Friday.

Muheeb has arrived back at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary after his stay in the Old Chapel Veterinary Hospital where he was diagnosed with cancer. We unloaded him, pleased to see him home, but with heavy hearts – and then as we opened his crate, something wonderful happened.

We have made incredible progress on installation of the new sewage system along with grey water filtration and recycling management, at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa.

Dr Peter Caldwell sedated Muheeb at Old Chapel Veterinary Clinic for tests, X-rays and ultrasounds, to try to establish the cause of Muheeb’s weight loss.

Our beloved Muheeb will be heading to hospital this week for Dr Caldwell to examine him and undertake more tests to establish the reason for his weight loss.

It has turned parts of the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary into something looking like a battlefield, but our project for clean waste disposal and water recycling is well underway!

Waldo, a white goose, has joined the gaggle at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary after he was found caged and in appalling conditions in Bloemfontein by the SPCA (see second picture).

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.
