General

At our sanctuary (and farm) in South Africa, we offer a forever safe home to many animals who were neglected by their owners, or at other places.

With Andrea, Emma and Tina, three lovely interns from the University in Spain (UVic-UCC) we did count and capture (on camera) the cats that live with us and who get daily care, also medical if necessary.

Most of the cats love to stay in our protected 1 HA yard, others make use of the whole farm. Most of them don’t miss out on any meal (offered twice a day), some stay away for a day, or longer, and then return for food and attention.

And sometimes there are newcomers… we expected around 30 but we ended up 40, and still newcomers show up from time to time. Most of them stay and they are more than welcome.

Happy 22 to our dearest Queeny, our Birthday girl (Sacred Birman Cat). We are so proud of you oldie and love you so much. We feel blessed with every extra day, week, month, year… with you ♥️

Queeny and her two other Sacred Birman friends (aged 19 and 16) of the former De Jonge WildCats Cattery are the fortunate cats living comfortably at the Wild Cats World home and office. Sadly we had to say goodbye to Zamba in January this year aged 17.

Queeny with her age and personality truly is the Matriarch of the extended family of cats and other animals in our care in the Netherlands and South Africa. We provide the best of care to big groups of rescued feral cats, wildcats, domestic cats and big cats such as leopards, cheetahs but also to the medium-sized servals, caracals and smaller African wildcats and Black-footed cats.

Wishing you all a wonderful New Year in good health.

While most people are having the celebration of the year starting the New Year with a loud bang: lots of noise and lights of fireworks, we have to stop and think of the animals who are not enjoying this at all.

Our pets but also wildlife are having dreadful moments, often threatening their lives, while humans are having fun.

Think of them for a minute, please. And you will have an even better celebration. A party for ALL!

Happy 2024 and thanks for following/reading Wild Cats Magazine.

Sacred Birman cat Queeny reached the respectable age of 21 today, June27th 2023 and we hope to have her amongst us for many more years to come, in good health and spirit like she still is now.

Three male servals, currently named “Luik”, “Gent” and “Wondelgem” after the cities where they were found or confiscated, are being prepared for their big journey from Belgium to South Africa on 22 March 2023.

At Wild Cats World Sanctuary we are happy to welcome them and give them a wonderful forever home……living like a serval and not as a pet.

We will update you after they have arrived and settled in again.
