Nairobi Feline Sanctuary: A Haven for Kenya’s Animals and Nature

About this tour

Discover a different side of Nairobi, one filled with compassion, second chances, and breathtaking biodiversity.

Our Mission

At the Nairobi Feline Sanctuary (NFS), we believe every life is precious. We serve as a dedicated refuge for abandoned, injured, and vulnerable cats in Kenya. Our sanctuary provides more than just shelter; we offer a path to recovery, high-quality veterinary care, and a forever home for those who have nowhere else to go.

The Tigoni Experience: A Multi-Species Haven

While our name highlights our feline focus, our Tigoni branch has blossomed into a vibrant, multi-species family and a thriving ecosystem. Visitors to Tigoni will find a sanctuary that honors all life:

• The Feline Residents: Meet the resilient cats who are the heart of our mission.
• The Extended Family: Be greeted by our 40 resident dogs, 3 playful goats, and 5 happy chickens who call this lush land home.
• The Dam & Wild Bird Sanctuary: At the heart of our Tigoni grounds lies a tranquil dam, a natural oasis that attracts over 20 species of wild birds. From shimmering kingfishers to elegant herons, it is a paradise for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
