We support ‘The Lion Foundation‘ with all our heart
Tigers, lions and other feline predators are endangered worldwide. The Lion Foundation aims to give rescued big cats a future in the wild
The Lion Foundation is a rescue facility for big cats, which is situated on the Hoenderdaell Estate.
In April 2012 the first big cats were moved to the Lion Foundation. The foundation aims to shelter big cats in need.
If at all possible, shelter will be temporary and will prepare the animals for a return to the wild.
The rescued cats come for example from private parties or from circuses, which as a result of new legislation are no longer allowed wild animal acts. The owners look for a place where these lions and tigers can live in comfort for the rest of their lives.
The Lion Foundation provides such a place.
