Animal lovers paradise

I have spent a total of 5 weeks at Twala over 2 visits, each over the December holidays and new years. Twala is a wonderful and magical place especially if you are a true empathetic animal lover.

I am a cat lady and at first was unprepared for the amount of dogs Twala cares for but over time all the senior dogs and pups in their care won me over as well. Don’t get me wrong I would still prefer to spend the majority of my day in the cattery socializing kitties but you will now find me racing Lucy the dog up and down the driveway as well. I amassed quite a breakfast crew while there (of course because I shared my yogurt) but I was always joined by at least 3-4 cats, and a couple of birds, and each night I was gifted with at least 4 cats on my bed to sleep with.

The work you do here is truly meaningful. From breakfast prep for all the animals in the morning, to socializing kitties and puppies, working in the clinic, at Doggy Tuesday where you get to see the amazing impact Twala is having on the local villages, to building new habitats for rescued genets and going along on rescue rides for orphaned serval kittens.

This is a true hands on experience with lovely people who keep Twala running and all the animals happy. I’ve gone as a solo each time and have never felt alone (how could you when you’re surrounded by love?). I highly recommend Twala if you are looking to make a difference in animals lives
