Retirement Home for the Smooth Coated Otter Sisters
Our latest arrivals, two beautiful Smooth-Coated Otters, they are settling wonderfully into their newly refurbished enclosure.
Their spacious new home is the perfect place for these two lively ladies to enjoy their well-earned retirement. They’ve been delighting visitors every day with their playful antics — splashing, exploring, and keeping our team on their toes! Clever, curious, and full of personality, Seren and Nova thrive on enrichment and attention, and we’re thrilled to see them so happy.
The total cost of this work is around £15,000, and we’ve launched this fundraiser to make it possible.
A huge thank you to everyone who has already donated towards their new home — your kindness has made such a difference.
All donations of £50 or more will receive a complimentary pass to come and meet the sisters
Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.
We’re still completing the behind-the-scenes equipment that keeps their environment running smoothly, and your continued support will help us give them the very best care.
Every donation, large or small, helps us provide essential care, enrichment, and habitat maintenance for Seren, Nova, and all the otters at our sanctuary.
