19 years! For all this time Timka was imprisoned for the only guilt of being born! 19 years of captivity in a zoo park in Ukraine, in a small concrete den in which he couldn’t run, smell a tree or just enjoy the sounds of nature. He was used to make cubs with his partner Alisa. He grew up surprisingly big giving his living conditions (he is about 350 kg). Timka is one bear that looks straight into your eyes with dignity, but with a sad shadow which probably will never go away.
November 12 is the date that Timka left his cage behind and enjoyed for the first time nature as it is in AMP Libearty!
An adoption certificate is a symbolic way to support a bear at the AMP Libearty Sanctuary through a one-off donation of a fixed amount. As a token of our gratitude, you will receive a personalised digital certificate by email, featuring the name of your chosen bear and the adopter’s name.
Your donation contributes to the bears’ food, veterinary care, habitat maintenance and overall well-being, while also helping us rescue other bears still living in captivity.
The certificate can also be given as a gift to someone special, making it a meaningful way to celebrate an important occasion while supporting a worthy cause.
What Does Sponsoring a Bear Mean?
Sponsoring a bear is a symbolic gesture through which you contribute to the care and well-being of rescued bears at the AMP Libearty Sanctuary. Your monthly donation helps cover the costs of food, veterinary care, habitat maintenance and all the resources needed to give the bears a safe and peaceful life.
It is a simple way to support the bears month after month and give them the chance to live with dignity, far from the suffering they endured in captivity.
Why sponsor a bear?
Every bear at the AMP Libearty Sanctuary has a story. Many were rescued from tiny cages, inadequate zoos or other captive environments where they endured years of suffering. Through sponsoring, you become part of their journey towards healing.
You will receive regular email updates about your adopted bear, including photographs and news about life at the sanctuary. This allows you to follow their progress and see the difference your support makes each month.
Complete the form, selecting your monthly contribution and support period (minimum 3 months).
Set up recurring payments through the donation platform. Future payments will be processed automatically.
You will receive confirmation by email, along with the adoption documents.
