The Wild Animal Orphanage is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization caring for a variety of unwanted, abused or neglected animals, to include lions, tigers, cougars, bears, chimpanzees, baboons, lemurs, and much more.

Many of the animals that arrived at the sanctuary were re-homed from private owners, who were unable to care for their "pets."

Additionally, hundreds of primates are sent to us for retirement from medical research facilities and colleges/universities' behavioral research programs. 

We do not receive any funding from Federal, State, or local government – we operate solely on the kind donations made by people like you. 

We hope you will have the opportunity to visit our facility and meet some of our amazing animals.  If you cannot visit our animals, we hope you will consider making a kind donation towards our animals' care so we can continue to provide them the love, care, and financial security they need!
