Join supporters like Leonor O., who generously donates €50 a month to help fund our vital work for lions. Through her ongoing support, she’s helped cover the cost of vital medical treatments for injured lions like Ndulu.

Our monthly donors, play a crucial role in supporting everything from life-saving surgeries to rehabilitation programs. With donations starting at just €10 a month, every contribution makes a huge difference.

By becoming a Friend today, with as little as €5 a month, you can help transform the lives of lions in need.

Ndulu's Story: Overcoming a Painful Injury

Ndulu, one of the majestic lions in our care, suffered from a painful claw injury where two bones fused together and pushed through the pad of his paw, causing severe pain to the point where he could not walk properly. Our dear friend and veterinarian Bouvy tried to correct the issue multiple times, but the problem persisted, impacting Ndulu’s quality of life.

Finally, after careful consideration, our team decided to amputate the damaged claw to end his suffering. The surgery was a success! After the procedure, Ndulu made a remarkable recovery. Now, he is back with his pride in his semi-wild enclosure, walking freely again thanks to the care he received.

The surgeries required to treat Ndulu were particularly complicated due to his semi-wild environment because the logistics of performing these operations are challenging.  We also frequently face shortages of medicine in Zambia, making it even more difficult to provide the necessary care.

But if we come together, we can always make it better!

Your Support Can Change Lives

With the help of monthly donors like Leonor, we can continue to provide life-saving surgeries and care to lions and other animals in need. Every contribution allows us to plan ahead and act quickly in emergencies, ensuring that no animal is left without the help they deserve.

Whether you give €10 or €50 a month, your support will make a lasting impact.

Will you become a Friend of Wild at Life e.V. today and help us continue this crucial work?

Your donation will go directly towards helping lions like Ndulu, ensuring they receive the medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care they need to live healthy, happy lives.

Thank you for your support!
