Every rescue requires resources, from food and shelter to medical care and release logistics. Here’s what it really takes to give one wild animal a second chance at life.
These figures represent the average monthly cost per animal in our care.
Your Impact in Action
Every donation tells a story — a rescued owl, a rehabilitated mongoose, a family of squirrels released back to the wild. Thanks to our supporters, more than 400 wild mammals have been rescued and released so far.

FAQs
Where does my donation go?
Your donation goes directly toward the rescue, care, and rehabilitation of the animals we take in. Every contribution helps cover essential, everyday needs such as: Milk formula and specialised food for orphaned babies, veterinary care (medications, surgeries, treatments), building and maintaining enclosures, heating, bedding, and enrichment to keep animals safe and comfortable, rescue operations and transport for injured wildlife.
We are a small, dedicated non-profit with no government funding so every euro directly supports the animals.
Your generosity truly makes a life-saving difference. Thank you for helping us give them a second chance.
Are donations tax-deductible?
For European donors, contributions are unfortunately not tax-deductible at this time, but we are working to make this possible in the future. For South African donors, tax-deductible donations can be arranged through Section 18A. Please contact us for further details.
I can’t donate money — can I still help?

There are many meaningful ways to help Wildlife Paws without donating financially: you can share our mission on social media to raise awareness, talk about us to friends, family, or anyone who loves animals, you can fundraise on our behalf (birthday collection, school project, workplace initiative, etc.). You can also volunteer your time at the center if you are able to travel, we will be happy to have you !
Offering skills such as photography, design, admin help, or anything you’re good at can also work !
If you are in South Africa, you can donate useful items such as animal supplies, tools, enrichment materials (see in the list mentioned under “where your donation makes a difference”).
