Feed Jimmy, Jexi and 99 other rescued bears for two weeks

Jimmy and Jexi (pictured above) were taken as cubs and kept as pets in a cramped, concrete cage at the back of a bread factory in Arcusi (Covasna County) for 11 years. Exposed to severe winters and hot summers, these two bears endured a life of suffering in a cage that became smaller and smaller as they grew. Fortunately, they were rescued by our partner Asociatia Milioane de Prieteni (AMP) and brought to the World Animal Protection funded Romanian bear sanctuary. Today both bears enjoy the freedoms of the sanctuary forest including swimming in the pools and foraging for food.
To stay healthy and happy, Jimmy and Jexi need approximately 15 kgs of food a day. All 101 bears at the sanctuary eat a varied diet of fresh fruit and vegetables. In the summer months, they get frozen blocks made from cream, fruit and honey – a very special treat! As you can imagine it costs a lot to feed all the101 bears in the sanctuary year-round. Many of the bears that were once underfed and malnourished now have healthy appetites and love eating fresh food like fish and fruit. Feeding residents is a top priority and with a record number of bears residing at the sanctuary we need your support more than ever.
For just $40 you can nourish Jimmy and Jexi for one week with good food keeping them healthy and strong.
For $80 you can provide Jimmy and Jexi with food for two weeks.
Donate today and help to provide nourishing food to all 101 rescued bears for two weeks. You'll receive an "I care about bears" certificate once the gift is fully funded.
