Appreciate: The Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary

During a recent Instagram scroll sesh, we stumbled across the resident ‘emotional support kitten’ at the Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary in Zimbabwe and it seriously brightened our days. An orphan herself, Marble provides cuddles, care and companionship to a group of baby vervet monkeys who’ve been separated from their mothers. Whether she’s snuggling with them in hammocks, grooming their tiny heads, or engaging in playful antics, Marble’s presence brings comfort and joy to these young monkeys, helping them experience a sense of connection, safety, and nurture during their formative years. It’s seriously heartwarming, and a testament to the unconditional love of all animals. We’re not crying, you’re crying!

The Twala Trust provides a safe haven for a diverse range of injured and orphaned animals, from domestic critters like cats and dogs, to lions, antelope, hedgehogs and reptiles. Their mission is to ensure that these animals receive the care they need, whether it’s rehabilitation for release back into the wild, rehoming, or providing a supportive environment where they can live out their days with dignity. If you’re eager to witness their remarkable work firsthand, Twala Trust offers an immersive and deeply personal volunteer experience, where you’ll have the opportunity to engage in hands-on tasks like rescuing injured animals and taking the dogs for their daily walks. Our faith in humanity is well and truly restored!
