At Gentleshaw Wildlife Centre, we take great pride in being the small sanctuary with the big heart. Over the decades we have taken animals in from a variety of circumstances, some have been badly neglected, some have been mistreated and some are simply no longer wanted by their owners. Often exotic animals become too large, too “wild” or too costly for their owners. many have long lifespans, require specialist veterinary care and need lots of time and space to keep them healthy.
Our mission is not only to provide a haven for exotic animals but also to ensure that they are chrished and nurtured in an environment where they can thrive and flourish. We do our best to ensure their complex needs are catered for, for many we are able to give them a second chance at a life. You won’t see Lions and Tigers at Gentleshaw, but you will see a mixture of mammals, birds of prey and reptiles, all with individual stories about how they came to call Gentleshaw home.
