Small Contributions, Lasting Impact

Posted on Thu February 26, 2026.

The Cheetah Preservation Foundation (CPF) is dedicated to advancing the conservation of cheetahs and other endangered species through responsible captive breeding, research, rescue support, and public awareness.

The Foundation receives no government funding and relies entirely on memberships, donations, animal adoptions, and corporate sponsorships to continue its work.

Caring for wildlife carries significant daily operational costs. These include habitat maintenance, water and electricity usage, specialised diets, enrichment programmes, and ongoing veterinary care. Animal welfare remains our highest priority, supported by a dedicated team of more than 80 staff members and an on-site Animal Care Centre that supports the health and wellbeing of more than 90 species in our care.

Every contribution directly supports conservation in action. You can make a meaningful difference by becoming a member, making a donation, adopting an animal, or contributing essential items from our operational wishlist.
