YOU CAN HELP RESCUE ONE MORE LION |
Dear John
Thanks so much for giving the Lions of Lockdown a forever home. Did you know, with your help we’ve rescued an incredible 54 lions since 1995? But now, one more little lion needs your help. |
Help care for Simba
Simba’s story is heartbreaking, full of suffering. He was just a sickly infant, a few weeks’ old, when found in a garage near Moscow in Russia, in a cardboard box. A victim of the illegal wild pet trade, the tiny cub was terrified and starving, missing half his fur. Mewling in distress, so weak he could barely stand.
Your gift could help him
Thankfully, Simba was rescued by a sanctuary in Russia. They nursed him back to health and asked if we could offer him a lifetime home. How could we say no?!
Just before Christmas, with restrictions due to Covid lifted, we could move this other little Lion of Lockdown to a halfway house with our friends at Natuurehulpcentrum, in Belgium. But, this is just the start of his story.
With your help, we want to give Simba a forever home at Animanatura sanctuary in Italy – already home to two rescued Born Free big cats – Elsa the lioness from a circus, and Sandro the tiger, from a zoo. |

Animanatura are building Sandro a new enclosure. So, this summer, his temporary enclosure will become available for Simba, while we create Simba’s own, brand new, purpose built space.
As you can see, looking after Simba has already been a big team effort. But, we think he’s worth it and that every lion, however small, is precious. |

Do you agree? Angela, Louga, Saida and Bellone are now settled, cared for and have the forever home they deserve. Will you give just £10 more to our appeal and give Simba the wonderful, caring future you’ve already given to the Lions of Lockdown?
Thank you so much!
