TEDDY & TYSON

Kirsten’s Zoo was started by Kirsten Mitchell in 2008 as a response to a number of factors, in particular, the need to have a centralised point of contact on Hong Kong Island to help home cats and dogs, as well as other animals in need. In the beginning she funded most of her endeavours out of her own pocket and with the kind assistance of friends and likeminded people. However, in the past few years, we received money from the government which helps with our ever-growing expenses. Her dedication and commitment have meant that hundreds of animals have been successfully homed over the last 20+ years. She has always depended on the financial kindness of animal lovers to help her continue to do what she does and took the decision to found a charity with a view to widening her efforts to help more animals and educating the general public in animal welfare.
