The best cage is an empty cage.
Run by a small, yet highly dedicated and experienced team of staff and volunteers, CROW assists over 3000 orphaned, injured and displaced animals every year. From mongoose, genets and monkeys to birds, reptiles and antelope, CROW represents a second chance at a free, safe and sustainable life for all wild animals in distress.

We are committed to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of orphaned, displaced and injured wildlife.

Once the animal is at the centre, it is assessed and treated for its injuries and problems.
