Meerkat Mia finds new hope at Shamwari Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

Mia's story began in 2016 when she was rescued by Cape Nature and brought to Exotic Animal World as part of a confiscation of four meerkats. Mia arrived pregnant and missing the tip of her tail. Soon after, she gave birth and went on to raise four pups who lived long, happy lives. But as time passed, Mia outlived her companions and found herself alone, until Shamwari stepped in.
