APES CIC Rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming and public support across the APES network.

Mission

Protecting exotic pets and empowering owners.

Read the APES mission built around rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming, responsible ownership and practical support for people who need help.

Rescue Rehabilitate Rehome
Support ethical rehabilitation Donate

The three Rs

Rescue, rehabilitate and rehome with practical owner support.

Rescue Respond when exotic pets are abandoned, at risk or in distress.
Rehabilitate Provide housing, nutrition and recovery support that is appropriate to the species.
Rehome Match animals with responsible adopters who are prepared for the realities of specialist care.

The public mission also emphasises advice, education and support that help owners keep pets at home safely where appropriate, alongside stronger understanding of conservation, welfare and responsible ownership.

Owner support and prevention

APES frames public support as practical, non-judgemental guidance that can sometimes prevent avoidable surrender, unsafe keeping or delayed welfare action.

Public benefit and trust

Mission content supports rescue outcomes, responsible rehoming, public education and transparent supporter confidence without relying on unverified headline figures.
