The Kuwait 6 looking at home in the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary – sold illegally as pets, then dumped by their owners in the desert and city streets of Kuwait, when no longer wanted.

The Kuwait 6 – Muheeb, Saham, Shujaa, Saif, Dhubiya and Aziza – once victims of the illegal wildlife trade, now enjoy life under the South African sun.

Saif and Dhubiya were found starving, weak and frightened in the desert. With the help of our supporters and Kuwait Zoo, we were able to rescue them and give them a new life. Shujaa was abandoned in the city streets.

Now these big cats can just be cats! They have acres of land to run and roam, enrichment toys to activate their prey and play instincts, and plenty of spots amongst the grass and trees for them to hide and sleep.

Want to help? Consider adopting one of the Kuwait 6 through our website! Your donations will help cover food, medical care and enrichment expenses.

Native wildlife has exploded at the 455-acre ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa since we began re-wilding – including spectacular secretary birds.

We have planted over 200 trees, allowed the flowers to flourish, and added over 50 natural spring fed water sources.

Little wonder there is an abundance of birdlife these days.

One of the biggest thrills we get is seeing a secretary bird walking through the long grass, particularly since these birds are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. This large bird of prey with an eagle-like head but stork-like legs, are normally monogamous, and so we usually see them in pairs.
