Mission Statement Animazonia Wildlife Foundation is an all-volunteer sanctuary dedicated to providing a permanent home and nurturing care for rescued exotic animals, primarily big cats. We strive to deepen public awareness of the plight of exotic animals who experience abuse or senseless breeding in captivity or extinction
in the wild.
Our nameAnimazonia comes from the word anima, which originally meant "heavenly mother,” recalling a time when all souls were thought to emanate from the Heavenly Mother. In essence, Animazonia means Animal Paradise, and that is exactly what our volunteers continually work to create. We strive to provide the best possible environment for every animal in our care.
Did you know?
There are an estimated 15,000 big cats kept captive in America and only a small percentage of them are in accredited zoos and care facilities.
Since 1987, AWFhas survived and thrived, powered by volunteers who
do it all - from the daily animal care to building enclosures. No paid employees means that every contribution goes directly to the care of the animals.
