Halloween is just around the corner, and that means we must provide some treats for our lion and tiger residents at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary and have some faboolous fun!

Most of the big cats at the Sanctuary in South Africa were saved from horrific conditions in circuses, while others were rescued from the illegal wildlife pet trade. In our place of loving kindness, they have the freedom to do what they want to do, when they want to do it.

This Halloween, will you sponsor a joyful treat for one of the Sanctuary residents?

Our rescued lions and tigers roam natural habitats of several acres – we give them a life as close to nature as possible. Being clever and very playful, they love extra fun and games including treats such as pumpkins, catnip sacks and punchbags, watermelons, and boxes. Such enrichment is vital for keeping our inquisitive residents mentally and physically stimulated and having fun.

These are some of the images of our residents enjoying their enrichment at last year’s Halloween party.

It costs an average of $2,000 / £1,485 each month per animal for food, care, veterinary, maintenance, and security. That’s $68/£50 per day. Therefore, we must ask for a little something extra with each Halloween treat donation, to go towards each resident’s care.

• Halloween Treat Sponsor – $15 / £10 – covers the cost of a pumpkin or other fangtastic treat and a contribution towards a lion or tiger’s care.
• Halloween ‘Golden’ Treat Sponsor – $68 / £50 – provides a pumpkin or other spooktacular treat and one full day of care for a resident.
• ‘One-For-All’ Halloween Sponsor – $250 / £186 – a pumpkin or other eeriesistible treat and care contribution for every lion and tiger at ADIWS.

Our goal is to get enough sponsors that we can keep the cats entertained with seasonal treats through to the end of the year.

Please help with a donation today and we look forward to reporting back on the fun and games you’ve made possible in the coming weeks.
