Jafari was surrendered to Forever Wild after his previous owner discovered it was illegal to own servals in California. Like all servals, Jafari is incredibly agile and can leap impressively high to catch prey—a natural skill that makes these wild cats extraordinary hunters. With the largest ears of any cat species, servals like Jafari use their exceptional hearing to detect even the slightest rustle of prey in the grasslands of Africa. Despite once being kept as a pet, Jafari now lives in a safe, enriched environment that respects his wild instincts.
Jafari also requires ongoing medical care to manage nasal and respiratory issues. By sponsoring Jafari, you help us provide for his specialized health needs, including regular veterinary visits, medication, and a clean, well-maintained habitat that keeps his symptoms under control. Your support ensures he continues to receive the best care possible, while also helping raise awareness about the challenges wild animals face in captivity. Thank you for making a difference in Jafari’s life!
