Late one morning, Meimo was spotted enthusiastically digging in the den that first appeared last year in the north outdoor enclosure in Arosa Bear Sanctuary. 💪🐻
What’s he up to?
In the days that followed, Amelia made a brief visit to the den, while Sam lingered nearby, clearly intrigued but choosing not to enter. 👀🔍
And here’s where it gets even more interesting… Marmots have recently vanished from the area. Could there be a marmot burrow right next to the den? Is Meimo picking up on new scents? 💡
Or maybe he’s crafting a cozy spot to sleep? 💤
While it’s a bit early for hibernation prep—these bears usually start scouting for winter dens in late October—Meimo might just be ahead of the game. For now, though, food remains the top priority. 🍂🍎
👉 What do you think Meimo’s up to? Is it instinct, curiosity, or something else entirely? Drop your thoughts below!

Winter may slow the bears down at Arosa Bear Sanctuary but for the team, it’s full steam ahead! ❄️💪🐻
While bears enjoy their cosy winter dormancy, the on-site team keeps the sanctuary running every single day — from safety checks and fence inspections to admin work and endless snow clearing.
In summer, seven people run the sanctuary.
In winter? Just two part time heroes keep everything moving. 🙌❄️
A little bear update:
At the start of February, Jamila was often spotted wandering outside, looking for snow free spots. But after the latest heavy snowfall, she’s chosen the smarter option — staying warm in her den to conserve energy. 💤🤍
Guided tours are still available daily upon request. ❄️🐻✨

Two years ago, eleven lions were rescued from poor conditions that were the result of the war in Sudan and brought to their forever home at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary. 🌄🦁
These brave big cats have come a long way, overcoming great trauma to find peace. 🐾
They now enjoy enrichment activities, nutritious meals tailored to their needs and expert medical care to ensure theyre able to live their best lives.
Here’s to many more years of safety, comfort and dignity for these magnificent cats, and to the onsite team whose compassion makes all the difference. ☀️

🐑 Michael Kors, stop looking the other way! 💔
Send them a message here ➡️ https://help.four-paws.org/en/tell-michael-kors-to-protect-lambs
The past months, we reached out to over a 100 global fashion brands, asking them to make commitments to protecting lambs.
Why? Because 10+ million lambs suffer for wool each year. They endure a brutal mutilation where strips of skin and flesh are sliced off lambs’ bottoms— without proper pain relief. ❌
This is live lamb cutting (#mulesing), and over half of the world’s clothing wool begins with this cruelty. ✂️
We asked Michael Kors if they:
⭕have a clear policy against live lamb cutting (LLC).
⭕️label certified LLC-free wool on products.
⭕commit to excluding live-cut wool.
And Michael Kors said NOTHING, despite repeated outreach. 💤
📢 Protecting lambs is not a luxury! ️
👉 Ask Michael Kors to commit to wool free from live lamb cutting!

Loud noises, bright flashes of light, sparklers, rockets... 🎆🧨 Imagine hearing and seeing all this sudden agitation without knowing where it comes from. You’d surely be frightened!
This is exactly what happens to our pets during festivities, and there are ways to prevent stressful situations from happening, so that everyone in the family gets to enjoy New Year’s Eve. ✨
💡 Some tips: try to go on your daily walk in the calm of the afternoon, make sure all pets are inside before fireworks start, and be the calming presence they need if they start showing distress. Playing calming music, using pheromones for your feline friends and even working on desensitising dogs to loud noises can work as preventive measures.
Make sure to check out our guide for all expert advice! ➡https://www.four-paws.org/our-stories/publications-guides/new-years-eve-minimising-your-pets-stress
And it’s not just about dogs and cats, smaller pets can also experience stress from loud noises, and not forgetting to put your bird, rat or guinea pig in a quiet room during fireworks is a first step to avoid starting the year on the wrong paw! 😸

You all have been following the story of tiger Tajmir – rescued from dire keeping conditions in Czechia, to a temporary care in a zoo, to a road trip across Europe in a Big Cat Ambulance… to finally settle in in his forever home: FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary. ✨🫶🐯
We can finally put a end to the unfortunate tale that Tajmir’s life was before seeing his fate take a turn, and start writing a new one: beginning with his arrival in his lifelong home! The tiger adapted exceptionally well to his new surroundings, curiously taking in all the new smells and sounds from his new big cat neighbours. 🌳🦁
Many challenges could have jeopardised this large-scale, cross-border big cat rescue mission, but your support helped us offer this tiger in need of help, the life he truly deserves. 🥇
Whilst we are delighted to see the tiger finally show natural behaviours in his new environment, Tajmir needs extra care and monitoring due to his age. FELIDA Big Cat Sanctuary, with its cutting-edge medical facilities and expert caretakers, is THE perfect place for an older tiger like Tajmir to enjoy life peacefully. 👩⚕️
Tajmir was one of the rare victims of the ruthless trade lucky enough to get his story rewritten, all of this thanks to the collaboration between the authorities and dedicated animal welfare specialists… but YOUR job as an animal welfare supporter is to help cases like Tajmir get seen. 📲
➡️ Many animals are still suffering from illegal wildlife trade, and helping can be as easy as a click: https://www.four-paws.org/campaigns-topics/campaigns/ruthlesstrade/big-cat-reporting-tool
Our reporting tool is available worldwide to denounce activities regarding the commercial exploitation of big cats online!
