FELIDA is a sanctuary in the Netherlands that provides special care to rescued and traumatised big cats. FELIDA is part of FOUR PAWS International, the global animal welfare organisation for animals under direct human influence, which reveals suffering, rescues animals in need and protects them. Our vision is a world where humans treat animals with respect, empathy and understanding.
