Our Objectives Porfell has set out to create a unique and sensitive partnership between the unspoilt natural beauty of this rich environment and the practical sensible needs of both animals and visitors. As Porfell continues to expand and improve creating greater interests and better facilities it will preserve the personal, friendly atmosphere and service. Within this concept we have a commitment to develop and maintain a special attraction which will embody three main objectives...

Ocelot

Our first objective

We have a mission to provide a safe haven for elderly and problem exotic animals for the rest of their lives. The work of our sanctuary is recognised nationally by zoos, wildlife parks and other organisations.

Here at our animal sanctuary you will see groups of single sex animals, such as Ring-Tailed lemurs. Elderly animals like our dear old meerkats in retirement in a nice heated enclosure. You will see some who can breed, like the White lipped tamarins. Mother, Tammy had twins last year, they look as they have just drunk a large glass of milk, with milk still on there lips. Another set of twins were born June 2007.

Not forgetting old favorites like zebra, capybara, owls, ocelot and lynx. All enjoy environments created to suit their individual needs. New to the park are Black lemurs – we have registered to become part of the E.E.P. European Endangered species programme; to help these very rare lemurs, ours are past their breeding prime at the age of 27 but are helping us to highlight the plight of the Black lemurs of Madagascar.

All the expenses associated with caring for animals are paid from visitors admission and other sales plus the generosity of animal lovers. There are three ways you could help us to continue with improvements and build new facilities for more animals to be permanently in our care. You could become a Friend of Porfell. Adopt an animal or make a donation.
