Help us elevate the lives of captive animals: Become a valued Member Today
Have you ever considered the wellbeing of animals in sanctuaries and non-profit organizations? While these facilities provide a safe haven, captive environments often lack the natural stimulation animals crave. That’s where the Captive Animal Enrichment Project comes in.
We are a dedicated team focused on thoroughly enhancing the lives of captive animals by providing enriching experiences. Through thoughtful strategies and one-on-one consultations, we offer a unique approach to animal welfare.

Your membership really counts!
By becoming a member, you play a vital role in our mission. Your generous support allows us to:
- Source natural materials: We provide a variety of stimulating natural materials that mimic each animal’s relevant habitat. This encourages exploration and foraging and gives animals the choice to self-select remedies and natural elements that support their wellbeing and can even provide healing and homeostasis under their very stressful conditions. We source and use only the highest quality materials to deliver maximum efficacy and the greatest possible positive change. We prefer to source locally as often as we can, but always prioritise the quality of the materials we offer animals.
- Conduct in-depth consultations: Our team of experts works directly with sanctuary staff and animals to create bespoke enrichment programs. We create detailed individualised strategies that are wholly focused on increasing the wellbeing, general physical health and emotional states of the animals that we work with
- Empower animal caregivers: We train staff on enrichment techniques, ensuring animals receive continued stimulation and focus on their wellbeing long after our initial visit.

CAEP SPARKS CHANGE
We understand that every donation, tiny or massive, makes a real difference. Being the small organisation that we are though, managing a lot of smaller donations requires a significant amount of administrative time. Your generous membership allows us to focus our energy on what matters most: IMPACT – delivering enriching experiences to as many animals living in captivity as we can get to!
We are working on a more beautiful future for captive animals, helping them THRIVE and not just survive. Become a member and be part of the captive animal revolution!
