Where we work

International Animal Rescue has projects all over the world! From domestic cats in the UK to orangutans in Indonesia. Our rescue centres span three continents and care for hundreds of animals at any one time.

Protect The Forest

The plight of the orangutan in Indonesia has reached a critical stage. The survival of the species is under serious threat. Orangutans are suffering because of the systematic destruction of the rainforest.

Our appeals

Winter Appeal

2020 took its toll on all our projects but none more so than the bear rescue centre in Armenia. Not only have they been battling the effects of the global pandemic, there has also been a war on their doorstep.

Urgent Bear Appeal

Bears in Armenia that are being held captive are being abandoned and at risk of starving to death. We are urgently appealing for your help to rescue as many of these bears as possible, as quickly as possible.

More bears in Armenia need your help

COVID-19 Emergency Appeal

COVID-19 is wreaking havoc across the globe. Our top priority at this time is to keep all of our staff and the animals in our care safe. However, the effect of this crisis on the sanctuaries is getting worse.
