Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary

Description

A Unique Animal Sanctuary in Africa

The Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary is the only sanctuary of its kind in Zimbabwe, operating a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre, an exotic pet rescue, a farm animal rescue and a kennel-free dog rescue. We also have a longstanding, grassroots community outreach programme. We are well-established in Zimbabwe and operate an ethical, hands-on, animal focused Sanctuary. At Twala we do not breed, buy, swap or sell animals. Our residents include four lions (two are confiscated former pets and two were rescued from the breeding/petting industry), serval cats, civet cats, domestic cats, jackals, genets, primates, galagos, antelope, reptiles, indigenous and exotic birds, and many small wild mammals. We also have rescued farm animals, horses and donkeys and a large group of elderly and disabled dogs, who live kennel-free and make up our 'Waggley Tail Club'.

Our role in the community is to help animals in need, provide vet care, food and comfort. We possible, we release wild animals back into their habitat, and re-home domestic animals like dogs and cats into suitable homes, where appropriate. We offer free rabies vaccinations and a spay and neuter programme in the community for cats and dogs and educate people in surrounding villages about animal welfare and positive human/animal interactions.
