Wild Cats World Serval Sanctuary Expansion fundraiser!
Our supporter Genevieve was so very kind to start a fundraiser for us, knowing how much we do need funds now to continue to do good for many more servals as well as all resident servals (we rescued already 19 of which 14 from Belgium/Holland) and other wild cats and animals. Only with your support we can keep going!!! Please show you care.
I am personally championing this fundraiser because I believe deeply in the work of Wild Cats World. As a donor and advocate, I have seen firsthand the integrity, transparency, and tireless effort behind this organisation. Founder Babette carries an extraordinary responsibility largely on her own, and this campaign is about inviting the international community to share that responsibility and help protect wild cats in an ethical and permanent manner.
Servals are wild animals, not pets. Across Europe, inconsistent laws have led to servals being bred, sold, abandoned, or confiscated. Some arrive as orphaned kittens after their mothers were killed. Without sanctuaries like Wild Cats World, these animals have nowhere safe to go. We have already rescued 19 Servals at WCW, but many, many more need our help.
We are raising €10,000 to expand our camps to rescue and support additional orphaned servals from abandonment, illegal trade and trafficking, or euthanasia. There are significant costs involved in the rescue and ongoing support of these orphaned Servals; transport costs to bring the animals to our farm in South Africa, building big camps to accommodate the animals and provide a suitable environment, food, water and medical care for life, and local staff costs.
Wild animals require space to live in a natural environment, which provides them with all of the activities they would be doing in their wild lives, such as running and playing Wild Cats World stands firmly against canned hunting, breeding for profit, and the exploitation of animals for tourism. 100% of donations go directly to animal care and conservation. Our enclosure expansion creates a permanent, ethical solution — not a temporary fix.
Goodbye 2025, Welcome 2026
Wishing all our readers and followers a wonderful 2026. Thank you for your continuous support, much appreciated!! 2025 was a good year for our Wild Cats World sanctuary and animals. With a special Anniversary.
In June 2025 we had the 15th Anniversary of Wild Cats World. From the first day on our mission was to contribute to the survival of the many wildcat species in the world, with main focus on the African native species like the leopard, Cheetah, African wildcat, Black-footed cat, Caracal and Serval. Several projects and associations have been started and supported by us to realise this mission.
In 2012 we also started with our own sanctuary and since then we rescued a lot of (wild) cats and other animals to whom we give the best possible care and enrichment and a permanent safe home in natural environment, fighting against exploit, trade and (Canned) Hunting!
In 2025 we welcomed and provided a home for many more small cats and lots of Servals again. A lot of hard work has been done and a lot of challenges we managed to face successfully again in 2025.
We are relying on donations and sponsoring to be able to continue the way we do and to be able to do more for cats and animals in need. In January we will start a special GoFundme fundraiser; hopefully we can count on your support for all animals in need we want to welcome and give a second chance to a great life!
Happy New Year!!!!
