Looking for a meaningful gift or a way to support animal welfare? FOUR PAWS South Africa has launched a powerful new initiative — the Big Cat Adoption Programme — inviting you to symbolically adopt one of the rescued lions, tigers, or leopards living at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary.
Located in the Free State, LIONSROCK is home to over 100 big cats rescued from circuses, private ownership, zoos, and conflict zones. Now, through this programme, you can help care for these majestic animals while receiving exclusive behind-the-scenes content and a special adoption gift pack.
“It’s a personal way for individuals to connect with our mission and make a tangible difference,” says Fiona Miles, Director at FOUR PAWS South Africa.
How the Big Cat Adoption Programme Works
By making a once-off or monthly donation, you can symbolically adopt a big cat either for yourself or as a heartfelt gift. Your support helps provide food, medical care, and a safe environment for the animals at LIONSROCK.
As a donor, you’ll receive:
-
A digital certificate with a photo of your adopted big cat
-
️ A stylish shopper bag featuring your big cat
-
Optional plush toy (you choose whether to include it)
-
Exclusive email updates about your adopted animal
Why It Matters
This isn’t just a symbolic gesture — it’s a real contribution to the lifelong care of rescued big cats and to global advocacy for animal welfare. Your donation helps ensure these animals never return to suffering and instead thrive in a true sanctuary environment.
Whether you’re adopting in your name or giving the gift of adoption to someone special, you’ll be making a lasting impact.
