On 6 September 2024 we welcomed another four servals from Belgium (& the Netherlands). One female, Amani, and 3 males Archie, Alanis and Alvin.
The servals, like the 8 before them, were all confiscated or captured and brought to the refugee centre in Opglabbeek, Belgium. The servals were illegally used for breeding or kept as ‘pets’. Three of them were confiscated in Oostende, of which one appeared in someone’s yard after having escaped. The fourth one was from Dilbeek.
The other servals we welcomed earlier this and last year, were from Gent, Dilbeek, Wondelgem, Houyet and Dordrecht. With these four, the number of servals we currently offer a permanent home to is 17, but we already received a request to welcome and keep more servals in the (near) future. All servals are doing well and very much enjoy their new home in a much more natural environment.
We are very happy to be able to give them the life they deserve, possible in co-operation with:
