Help us change their lives! #TwoBearsOneFuture 🐻
For most of their lives, Gordo and Florencia have been stuck at the former Zoo Luján in Argentina. Gordo, a large bear, is confined to a space far too small for his size. Florencia has spent the past fifteen years mostly sleeping, with no comfort or sensory stimulation. 💔
Sadly, their current enclosures cannot be improved to provide the long-term care they need, and there are no suitable facilities for them in Argentina. They still deserve a second chance at life. 🌳
Our plan is to bring them to BEAR SANCTUARY Belitsa in Bulgaria, where they will finally receive the care, love and species-appropriate keeping conditions they desperately need. ✨
Imagine them digging in fresh soil, bathing in pools, enjoying enriching activities, being pampered by loving caretakers, and savouring the lifelong care they deserve after so much suffering.

Once a victim of the ruthless wildlife trade, Tajmir was one of the lucky few whose story was rewritten. 💛
Rescued from harsh conditions in Czechia ➡️ cared for temporarily in a zoo ➡️ a cross-Europe road trip in a Big Cat Ambulance… and finally, a happy ending at FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary – his forever home. 💚
Today, Tajmir is living his best life! He explores new enrichment every day, and recently, he got a fir tree to play with. 🌲
Watching him enjoy this simple gift was pure joy – and we hope it brings a smile to your face too.

Samba’s story has taken a beautiful turn 🐯🧡
For years, she and Kenya were forced to perform tricks no wild animal should ever be made to do. Even after Slovakia banned wild animals in circuses, the pair remained confined in a cramped circus trailer for another 1.5 years — their suffering far from over.
Then, in January 2025, her life finally changed.
Our team brought Samba to FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary, where she now has space, care, and the freedom she has always deserved. 🌿
Today, she’s no longer a performer, instead her days are filled with enrichment and discovery.

One mission. Lasting impact 🐯
Our veterinary mission in Malta is over, but its impact on big cat welfare will last.
Over the course of several days, our team worked alongside local partners to carry out health checks, sterilisation procedures, vaccinations, and support the relocation of animals into improved enclosures. Every procedure was completed successfully. 🩺💚
But this mission was about more than veterinary care. By preventing future breeding at the facility, no more big cats will become victims of the commercial trade. Every mission like this helps create a future where fewer wild animals are bred into captivity.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible: YOU, Vuci ghall-Annimali, and Dr Catherine Portelli. 🤝

POV: The enrichment took hours to make... Manuschka said, Challenge accepted. 🧩📦
Our animal caretakers are always coming up with new and creative ways to keep our big cats mentally and physically stimulated. 🐾
At FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary, Tess has crafted a cardboard puzzle enrichment for Manuschka. It may take patience and plenty of effort to build, but seeing our residents engage with their enrichment makes every minute worthwhile. 🦁
Enrichment plays a vital role in supporting the wellbeing of the cats in our care, encouraging natural behaviours, problem-solving and activity in a safe environment. Even if some enrichment creations dont stay intact for long! 😹
