    Rescued Just in Time: Tiger Brothers Saved from Suffering at Bloemfontein Zoo

     

    Rescued in the nick of time Sharukh and his brother Shevar were removed from the Bloemfontein Zoo just days before a COVID lockdown was announced in South Africa. After the discovery that five animals in the zoo had died of starvation, FOUR PAWS immediately organised an emergency rescue – there was no time to waste. 

     

    Born in 2012, the two tiger brothers had lived at the zoo since the age of two and knew nothing but their small enclosure until their rescue.

    New beginnings 

     

    Since their arrival, Sharukh has settled in very well and now enjoys a spacious home where he loves nothing more than cooling down in their pool and relaxing on the platforms, observing the free-roaming animals nearby. Sharukh is very playful and thoroughly enjoys enrichment, often bringing it into the pool with him.  

    Sharukh is ready to be adopted 

     

    Your adoption will help fund his care and support his species-appropriate life at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary. But it will do even more than that: your support makes sure that we can continue to help more lions like Dolf and create a world where people treat animals with empathy, respect and understanding.   

     

    As Sharukh's sponsor, you’ll receive exclusive updates, photos, and videos from his caretakers, along with a personalised adoption certificate and a special gift bag featuring Sharukh.

     

    You can even choose to receive a Sharukh plush toy—a beautiful reminder that you are part of Sharukh's incredible journey.
