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.

STORIES OF IMPACT
FAQs
Where does my donation go?
Wildlife Paws is a non-profit organisation. We do not generate profit from your participation.
Caring for rescued wildlife requires constant investment: veterinary treatments, food, enclosure maintenance, enrichment materials, transport, and the general upkeep of the sanctuary.
Volunteer fees help cover these essential costs — and they also include your accommodation and meals during your stay.
Without volunteers, this project simply could not exist.
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?
You book your international flight and fly into Johannesburg (O.R. Tambo International Airport).
Once your arrival date is confirmed, we will assist you in purchasing your bus ticket with the Citybug company. From the bus stop, a member of the Wildlife Paws team will pick you up there and drive you to the farm.
Is Wildlife Paws a non-profit organisation?
Wildlife Paws is a registered non-profit organization.
All income is used to ensure the continued care, treatment and release of South Africa’s wildlife.
Can I sponsor a specific animal?
No, all animals have needs so we prioritize the founds towards the emergencies.
Who can I contact for donation-related questions?
You can contact us by Whatsapp or email for any specific question. We will be happy to answer you.
