Cheetahs for Sponsorship

The Resident Cheetahs at CCF’s headquarters in Namibia, and some at the Somaliland Cheetah Rescue & Conservation Centre (CRCC) are all available for sponsorship. In Namibia, these cheetahs came to CCF as orphaned young cubs, injured adolescents, or they were kept as pets and turned over as adults. In the case of Somaliland, they were rescued by the local authorities from Illegal Wildlife Trade trafficker, and were provided to CCF for their care and rehabilitation. For multiple reasons, resident cheetahs are not able to survive in the wild and therefore they cannot be released.

Cost: It costs approximately $6,500 – $10,000 per year to feed, house, provide medical care, secure environment and enrichment for each cheetah being cared.  In the case of Somaliland, expenses are higher due to the emergency care provided in the first 48 hrs followed by observation period. These cheetah cubs are diseased and require more medications and support. Sponsors will receive exclusive updates on their sponsored cheetah twice per year in video format.

General Sponsorship of Cheetahs at CCF Somaliland

The Resident Cheetahs at CCF’s Cheetah Safe Houses were brought in as orphaned young cubs rescued from the illegal pet trade and human/wildlife conflict. For multiple reasons, these cheetahs cannot successfully care for themselves in the wild so they cannot be released. Updates will be provided twice per year at the program level; updates on individual cheetahs are not possible at this time.


Livestock Guarding Dogs

CCF’s Livestock Guarding Dog (LGD) program is one of its most successful in addressing the human-wildlife conflict that threatens the cheetah.
