Lioness Adoption

Achee and Ma Juah the lionesses

(c) BFF

Achee (‘Ah-kee’) was rescued by Born Free from a snowy car-park in Romania. Her companion Ma Juah was saved from a concrete pit in Liberia.
Both girls wobble – they suffer nerve problems due to poor early diets. But they’ve grown stronger in their bush enclosure at our sanctuary in South Africa, and have become friends.

When you adopt Achee and Ma Juah for just £30 a year you’ll help fund their daily food and care, AND support international lion protection.

Shada the lioness

Shada revels in the freedom of her enclosure at our sanctuary in South Africa. What a contrast to her former life! For years she was kept in a rusty cage at a circus in France, gazing pitifully through the bars. She barely had room to move and was never let out.

Adopt Shada and help provide her daily food and care
