“I'm leaving a gift in my Will to FOUR PAWS UK because they get to animals that are suffering NOW, relieving the pain and torment that many of them are living in every day. It’s comforting to know that FOUR PAWS will get something and there is no time better to prepare for it than the present”

What could your gift do for animals?

  • £1,000 could feed one big cat at our LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary in South Africa for one year 
  • £3,000 could cover the costs for equipment of a new enclosure with enrichment tools for a big cat 
  • £5,000 could feed a rescued bear for a year 
  • £10,000 could cover the costs of a bear rescue and transport  
  • £20,000 could cover the rescue of a big cat or contribute to the building of a new enclosure in one of the FOUR PAWS BEAR SANCTUARIES

*The costs of a rescue mission depend on various factors, including the distance between the previous keeping of the animal and the sanctuary, any necessary enclosure remodelling or repair work or even the additional construction of an enclosure and the size of the experienced team including the required veterinarians.    

A life changing gift

Leaving a gift in your Will to FOUR PAWS UK could help us continue our mission to improve animal welfare, worldwide.  

The donations we have received from gifts in Wills have been enough to run our BEAR SANCTUARY Ninh Binh in Vietnam for 6 months. Get to know its most recent residents, nine bile bears we were able to rescue in an extraordinary mission.

How long does it take to write a Will?

We know that it’s something many people put off which is why we’re offering you a free online Will that can be completed in 4 easy steps. 

We all have different requirements and needs for our Will, so it can take as long as you need it to without it costing you a penny.  

How much does a rescue operation cost on average?

The costs of a rescue mission depend on various factors. This includes the distance between the rescue location of the animal towards the sanctuary, the necessary remodelling, repair, or even additional construction of an enclosure, and the size of the experienced team involved in the rescue. 

However, the real costs come with the aftercare: a lifetime of appropriate care for the rescued animal. This includes veterinary care depending on the health condition of each big cat, a species-appropriate diet and the provision of enrichment, which are all provided by the work of specialised animal keepers. 

Furthermore, the maintenance of the facilities needs to be continually ensured.
