OUR WORK

TSCAER (The Serval Conservation and Rescue) is addressing the critical need for the rescue, rehabilitation, and responsible rehoming of African servals in captivity. The rising demand for exotic pets, combined with insufficient knowledge of serval care, has led to a growing number of servals being abandoned, mistreated, or confiscated due to legal restrictions or owner incapability. Many servals suffer from trauma, emotional distress, or physical disabilities due to improper care, relocation, or the loss of their caregivers.

Additionally, there is a widespread lack of education regarding the specialized needs of servals, leading to their exploitation or euthanasia. TSCAER addresses this gap by providing a safe haven for servals in need, ensuring they receive proper medical care, rehabilitation, and a second chance at life through responsible adoption. We also work to educate the public, serval owners and veterinarians to promote responsible ownership and improve serval care by offering a serval husbandry course that covers everything you need to know about caring and housing a serval.

OUR GOALS

TSCAER is addressing a critical and growing need for the rescue, rehabilitation, and ethical rehoming of African servals in the United States. As the ownership of exotic animals like servals becomes increasingly restricted due to changing state laws and the complex care requirements of these animals, many servals face neglect, abandonment, or the risk of euthanasia. Furthermore, servals in private ownership often suffer from inadequate care due to a lack of knowledge and resources available to their owners.

The need for specialized rehabilitation and rehoming services is compounded by the emotional and physical trauma servals experience when they are displaced or mistreated. Additionally, there is a widespread lack of education about proper serval husbandry, resulting in improper care and unsafe environments for these animals. Without intervention, these vulnerable servals risk exploitation or unnecessary death.

TSCAER fills this gap by providing a safe haven for servals in need, offering expert care, rehabilitation, and rehoming services. Our organization also educates serval owners, veterinarians, and the public on responsible serval care, aiming to improve the well-being of servals across the country. Through our work, we ensure that servals receive the specialized support they need to live healthy, enriched lives in appropriate environments.
