ADOPT A SERVAL!

Kamau - Kamau was born in 1999 and came to Zooville
on July 4, 2005. Since his actual date of birth is
unknown, we celebrate July 4th as his birthday. He
came from a home where he was well looked after, but the
owner had just gotten in over his head, as so many
people in this industry do. Florida Wildlife
Conservation Commission asked us to step in and help.
We went to take in 4 animals, and we left with 15, Kamau
being one of the 15. He had a large metal pin in his leg
from a previous injury, and that was causing him great
discomfort due to nerve damage from the plate. In
his first months here he had a major surgery
followed by 8 months in a TINY cage to allow the bone to
regrow. His movement had to be restricted!
Today, he is able to run and jump and swat us with the
best of them! |

Mopani - Mopani came to us on October 8, 2007 and almost nothing
was known about her other than she was 10 years old, spayed,
poorly declawed and had been a house pet. The Florida
Wildlife Conservation Commission had just begun Amnesty Days
where you could turn in any animal regardless of whether or not
you were properly permitted, without legal repercussion.
It was intended for reptile owners to help with the growing
problem of released reptiles in Florida. They never
expected a serval. Mopani was dropped off at the Miami
Amnesty Day and she was quickly removed to a licensed facility
for holding until a home could be found. We were called
almost immediately to see if we could take her in, as they
wanted her to go somewhere that would not exploit where she came
from and give in to the media frenzy that surrounded her.

SERVAL ENRICHMENT
Servals love toys, no matter how old they are. Keeping our animals mentally fit is very
important to us. Your support helps us keep these guys not
just physically fit, but mentally fit as well! Whether we
are using different substrates to give different tactile
experiences, or scents for stimulating the olfactory senses, or
things they can tear into like bones, boxes and various toys, we
love to watch the animals respond, react, and rejoice! Your
contributions help us keep their lives enriched!
