🌨️ Winter may be freezing in Arbesbach, but Mici is warming every heart here! ❄️🐻
Our brave new resident, Mici, is proving to be a true heroine. Moving to a new environment is always stressful for a bear, BUT Mici is approaching her new start fearlessly and with curiosity.
Recently, she moved into her new outdoor enclosure — and her caretakers couldn’t be prouder. ❤️
Without a moment of hesitation, she walked through the gates and began exploring her snowy surroundings with bright, curious eyes. ❄️
To help her settle in, the team created a scent trail leading her to her feeding areas — and she followed it like a pro! She even ventured back to the frozen pond and took another close look at the old rotten log that caught her attention before. After a full day of adventuring, she cozied up in her den to rest. 💤
What a remarkable change from the harsh winter she endured before her rescue. ❤️🩹
Our onsite team at the snowy BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach shares:
“We are over the moon that Mici is making such rapid progress.”
And so are we! 🌟
We couldn’t be prouder of this adorable bear who is finally discovering what it means to feel safe and to enjoy life to the fullest. 💚
However, our mission in Slovenia isn’t over yet. Another bear, Tim, is still living in cruel conditions in Slovenia. We’re calling on his owner to follow the compassionate example set by Mici and Felix owners, and finally give Tim the safe home he deserves at our sanctuary. 🌲
With your support, we can end the private keeping of bears in Slovenia for good — a historic milestone we’ve been striving toward for years. 🇸🇮

#FloraToFELIDA : The wait is nearly over... 🐯🧡
Flora, the smallest and most fragile tigress from the former Zoo Luján, was classified as an urgent case during our #EmergencyMissionArgentina. Due to severe deformities in the bones of her feet, resulting in abnormal claw growth, she requires specialised lifelong care. Without it, she faces a significantly increased risk of recurring ingrown claws, particularly in her hind limbs — causing severe and almost unbearable pain. 💔 Flora will also require further dental treatment in the future, along with an individually tailored nutrition plan. 📋
Our team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare her journey from Argentina to our FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary in the Netherlands and to ensure everything is in place for her safe rescue. ✈️
Please support our work because it doesn’t end with Flora’s arrival. The most important phase begins afterwards: a dedicated rehabilitation programme for this traumatised tiger, who will finally find lifelong safety and expert care within the FOUR PAWS family. 🐾 ➡️ https://bit.ly/flora-adoption
Flora, your wait is almost over! 💕

Today is a special day for an incredible group of lions here at LIONSROCK - The Romanian Five! 🐾 (also known as the FELIDA Five)
🎉The young lions Roman, Vincent, Dolf, Ellie and Geena 🦁 turned 7 years old today and our animal welfare team and volunteers made their day extra special! 🤩
The quintuplets were rescued by FOUR PAWS from private keeping in Romania and taken to @felida.bigcatsanctuary in the autumn of 2021.
Now, they thrive in their spacious species-appropriate environment to the fullest here at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary.
We wish these beautiful young lions many more birthdays to come! 🎂

Born in 1991, Felix spent decades confined to a small concrete enclosure beside a busy road in Slovenia—his life reduced to a roadside attraction for restaurant guests. 💔
But everything changed thanks to a powerful public campaign led by our team. Felix’s owners made the compassionate decision to give him the future he truly deserved. 🐻
🌟 In May 2025, Felix took the most important journey of his life—to his new forever home at BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach.
And look at him now! ✨
Felix is thriving. He’s exploring his spacious new habitat, swimming with joy, and indulging in delicious treats. His appetite is great, and he’s smartly packing on the pounds for winter. ❄️

It’s early morning at BEAR SANCTUARY Belitsa… which can only mean one thing: breakfast time for the bears. 🐻
Every menu is carefully tailored, with each bear’s favourites always on the list; because yes, these bears have taste. 🍎
Can you spot the last bear? 👀
Here’s a hint: he’s been calling the sanctuary home for over a decade and is often seen hanging out with his bestie, Mima. 💕🐻

#FloraToFELIDA : A rescue in 90 seconds? 🐯✨
Rescuing an animal in just 90 seconds and bringing it from poor conditions in a former zoo in Argentina to our FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary in the Netherlands? We wish it were that simple!
But wait… for you, we made it happen — at least on screen. 🎬🧡
We know how eager you are to see footage of sweet tigress Flora’s rescue. And because it was YOUR support that made this possible in the first place, we’ve created a special 90-second recap just for you!
Of course, a real rescue takes far more than 90 seconds. It takes months. Sometimes even years. Flora’s journey began a long time ago. One crucial step towards her new life at FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary was her veterinary assessment in October 2025. 🩺 During this check, severe wounds and serious dental issues were treated, and her overall condition was thoroughly assessed in preparation for her journey from Argentina to the Netherlands. ✈️🌍
This rescue was built on dedication, expertise and collaboration. 💚
Another 90-second special is coming your way next week as well… 👀
And very soon, we’ll share a longer, more in-depth video from the rescue of one tigress and two bears who all began their new chapter on the very same day – stay tuned! 🐅🐻🐻

At Orangutan Forest School, orphaned orangutans get a second chance at life in the wild. 🌿🦧
Surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of the rainforest, they spend their days feeding, resting, exploring, and sometimes playing with other young orangutans.
With dedicated foster parents guiding them every step of the way, they develop essential survival skills, from foraging and nest-building to using tools. Safe, supported, and free to learn at their own pace, they grow in confidence every day.
Their relaxed nature says it all: they know their caregivers are always close by. 💚🦧

Meat is eating up the planet! 🆘
Every year, we calculate #MeatExhaustionDay, the day when the maximum amount of meat that should be consumed in a year, according to the recommendations of the Planetary Health Diet, has already been exceeded.
In Germany, this day passed earlier this week, in mid‑April.
Our German colleagues were running a secret countdown all across Hamburg, counting down to German Meat Exhaustion Day - and culminating in an action in front of the historic Town Hall.
To stay within the Planetary Health Diet recommendations, Germany would need to reduce its total meat consumption by 70%.
The figures are alarming even by global standards: meat consumption in Germany is more than 1.6 times higher than the global average. 🌎
Such vast numbers inevitably go hand in hand with cruel farming conditions and animal suffering.
To meet high meat demand, over 85.4 billion animals are raised and slaughtered for meat every year worldwide. 💔
Many of them live on factory farms and are transported over long distances.
They are forced to spend their lives in crowded, dirty conditions without sunlight, suffering from injuries, disease and premature death.
The immense suffering caused by factory farming must finally come to an end. 📢
🌱 The good news: choosing plant‑based alternatives not only protects animals, but also our own health and our planet.
Let’s use this moment to rethink our habits - for an animal‑friendly, sustainable future. 💚
