Five baby cheetahs are orphaned by poaching. It is a miracle they all survive. The Kevin Richardson Foundation and Dinokeng Game Reserve stepped in to give these cubs a second chance with the ultimate goal - returning them to the wild. Join us in making history and see how YOU can be part of The Miracle 5 story.
We are looking for 800 people to give $5 per month. If 800 people give just $5 a month, that’s $1 per cub each month, we can ensure the BEST care for these cheetah cubs for 2 years. This is a huge job, but if we form a global tribe that becomes these cubs’ surrogate family, we can do it.
Sign up to donate and receive exclusive updates on the cub's progress! Go to kevinrichardso... for more info.
This is a project partnership between the Kevin Richardson Foundation, Lion Whisperer TV, Dinokeng Game Reserve, and Ashia Cheetah Conservation

It is working now. :)
Still trying.. :(
succeeded. thank you to your IT specialist ... sorry we crashed the site (but it goes to show how eager we are :P)
Finally got in to make donation. Yay! Thank you for all you do and I am excited to watch you on this new journey!!
Done. Greetings and all the best from Germany...
I'm glad those baby Cheetahs will be looked after by Kevin and those working at the Sanctuary. This world needs people like them. And to those scumbag poachers, I hope you suffer greatly.
Makes me cry and makes me SICK how humans can be so cruel. So Cruel!!! That poor momma, the pain she went thru, as her babies watched on as I'm sure their momma screamed. Bless the hearts of those babies, and God Bless you Kevin
Poachers should be shot.
@@kalicat9492 until they are, poaching will never stop
I wish all of the amazing people at the sanctuary and the other gentleman in the video a very pleasant thank you I wish you all the good things in the world, have a blessed beautiful life.
I wish all of the poachers a very pleasant drop dead.
@@kalicat9492 hanged publicly upside down. In a lion's den.
The cubs were found only because mom had a GPS collar on and the diligent, caring crew were alert and acted quickly. If mom wasn't wearing a collar, they would all be dead. I think of all the uncollared moms out there, the youngsters striking out on their own, the transient males....they are all in grave danger from the poachers. Kevin does important work.
Well said 👍
I agree, well said
Well that's depressing. Thanks a lot!
@@calstonjew you're on a video that showed the mutilated carcass of a cheetah mother, i think we're beyond the point of sugar coating stuff by now...
Yes, so let's give science its due, even though "miracle" sounds snappier.
UPDATE: The website is back up - thanks for all your support!
🦁
Please add the link
Still can’t get it.
Still trying to join
Still can't get on. Will try again later. Its almost midnight in Western Australia, so will try again tomorrow Kev.
I will NEVER understand HOW a human can possibly do something so damn cruel.Look at those faces on the “Miracle Five”! BEAUTIFUL!!
Because a very large % of human beings are just trash.
I just have no words to express how sad this is. The pain that poor mumma cheetah went through in her last moments is unimaginable. How can anyone do this. It’s beyond abhorrent
Thank God there’s people like you and the other guy on this planet. Following the link now
The sad truth is, many poachers are poachers simply due to economic hardships while trying to support their families. It’s awful and I’m not defending them, but it’s truly an awful position for all involved, most of all the animals. =[
@@nuggsy7085 I understand... For those just trying to feed their own kids/families they do whatever they can. It's a sad situation for them too. I just hope that soon they can find a better way.
There are some truly terrible people in this world, but also some really wonderful people like Kevin.
@@nuggsy7085 It's still about morals. I could rob someone on the street right now but I won't. It ultimately comes down to morals.
Humans we can be nice but my word some of us are just evil to the core
We've really failed as a race, in treating our home and it's inhabitants better... thank you for saving these little darling cheetahs!
Kevin and his team treat our home and its inhabitants better. So, don’t say we have failed as a race. Not all of us are evil or deserve to be called failures.
@@jayhache5609 good Individuals sadly do not outweigh the shitty cancerous mess we are as a whole.
Millions dont even know this is happening so no it doesnt outweigh spread the word an help people find this channel
Humans are a species, not a race. Good Lord
@@IdeaCalledFreedom I’m sure they meant “the human race”
Thank you to everyone involved in saving these Cubs. I wish the Mama could have been saved too 😥. I’ve donated $25 a month because I put my money where my heart is.
Thank you so much!
If I had a had the money, this is one of many places that deserve the support.
a warm heart!! god bless you!!
Idk think a $30 donation is required to put your money where your heart is lol
This is heartbreaking. I am new to the channel. Just makes me want to cry, I rescue and help cats on the street which can be very upsetting but this is beyond upsetting. I will be donating as well we must stop this. 😢
It breaks my heart to think of how their Mama suffered, and to think of people out there capable of such inhumane cruelty... But to think her miracle babies are being well looked after, and will live at a safer place than their Mama, being protected by those good gentleman, is a comfort to me.
You can count on my donation, Kev! I am very proud of you and very glad to know of the direction the sanctuary is heading!
Don’t you worry we will help you
I’m so sad about the mother. I’m thrilled that the Cubs will be at the Sanctuary. You are simply amazing, Kevin.
Happily donated. While it’s sad that rehabilitation centers have to exist, I’m so glad that it’s your foundation that will be doing it. I know that you and your team will do what’s best for the animals in your care and that makes me feel very secure in donating.
Cheetahs are my absolute favorite animal of all time, and to see this happen pains me greatly. I’m glad you guys were able to rescue the cubs, I know you will give them the life they deserve.
I will 100% donate, and I can’t wait to see more of the Miracle Five
A big thank you!
Cheetahs are one of my favorate too. Hope their numbers will increase.
Cheetahs just wove their way into my heart over this last year, courtesy of the endless stream of nature docs, docuseies, and documovies that were my lockdown lifeline.
Cheetahs are beautiful to be sure, and the combination of human encroachment, poaching, species endangerment, genetic bottlenecks, low reproductive and cub survival rates; *might* all have had something to do the growing respect.
But what really sealed the deal on the cheetah-love, was the ever-increasing sympathy toward them and ever-increasing annoyance toward every other predator... (Yes, even the lovely lions xD) for forever stealing cheetah kills and making them have to hunt as many of 3 times over just to get themselves a decent meal!
It's truly wonderful that, despite the horrific murder of their mother, these 5 precious cubs will be given as solid a start as possible while they prep for a life in the wild. 🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆
They will need it! Because cheetahs, stunning kitties that they are; are also serious underdogs!
I signed for the 2 yrs the other day (though sadly missed being among the 800) but will be looking forward to watching them grow and progress.
PS: The future direction they've inspired for the sanctuary when sounds amazing! More than that though, it sounds... right. 👌
Good job @Bashful ... These poachers that do those things are the real animals .... they should be hunted down like rats .......
Poor babies! The only consolation in this situation at all is that the cubs were found by caring people. Still, its hateful that these things happen 😔
Please guys donate coz we don't wanna lose these precious animals. We all know Kevin is a good man and we trust him, so all donations is in safe hands.
Done Kevin. I signed up for two years, hopefully the Miracle 5 thrive under your care!
Thank you! 🙏
@siva are u Hyderabadi guy??
I am also a big fan of Kevin👍
Me as well. Take good care of those babies!
You r awesome sauce whoever u r. 💗💗💗
I hope the poachers are found and suffer immensely.. I hope all animals thrive. Thank you for doing what you do Kevin !
I will absolutely contribute to this once the website is back up and running. I often despair of humanity when I see the devastation we inflict on the world. But the efforts of a few to correct such wrongs gives me hope that goodness will prevail in the end. Thank you for caring!
Please help.
I will proudly become one of many who will help take care of these beautiful babies! Thank you Kevin and everyone involved. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
I can’t even imagine the pain this poor mother. Felt knowing she will never see her babies again. Just donate $5 and a member now.
The tears are streaming down my face hearing about that poor mum, people are so cruel at times. Thank you so much for rescuing these babies though, they are sooo cute!
So… the poachers are trying to peel as many endangered animals as they can before the animals are extinct?? Not right…
I’m glad to see that these cheetah cubs were found and rescued…
Thank you for saving the animals!

So tragic the mother was killed and brutally mutilated... can't wait to follow the journey of the five cubs
I look at the website and it looks like you exceeded 800 and still getting more.
You're such a wonderful person Kevin! Thank you for everything you do.
Took me nearly 3 days but just tried again and success in helping out these darling cubs for the next 2 years..so happy to be able to 💚
Thank you for not giving up! 🙌
This made me cry, so heartbreaking.
Just made my commitment to donate every month (€10).
Thank you!
Me too, I'm so desperately grateful for Kevin and his team, I feel genuinely honored to help in any way I can.
A puddle of wild cats will cushion your flight to Heaven, Kev. God’s speed & thanks for doing what none of us can! You ROCK!
This is truly heart wrenching 😞 I really hope anti-poaching efforts will be supported as much as they should be. I’m more than happy to help ♥️
I joined the monthly 2 year program. You had me as soon as I heard the word rewilding. Excited to be a part of their journey although it will be tough I believe it can be done. Seeing their mother in that horrible condition-skinned and thrown like garbage broke my heart. I am sorry Momma Cheetah you were treated in such a foul way. Your cubs will be given a chance for success. Thank you Kevin for allowing me to be a part of helping them.
UPDATE: The website is down - we're working hard to get it back up!
Ohhh I thought it was just me. Lol. Thank you all for what you are doing!! So thankful for the anti poaching teams for their incredibly exhausting work. Looking forward to seeing the miracle 5 on their adventures.
Seems like you've gotten peoples attention! :) Was going to get in to contribute myself, will keep trying!
Thank goodness. I really want to help you and your foundation Kev.
I'll try again soon
I’m ready to commit, but the website is down. I hope to be one of the 800.
I also thought it was my web browers, I put in info and i just get a loading screen
OMG I can't believe that those little cubs (both families) are six months at the sanctuary!!!!! What a sight to see!!! As Always Light and Love ~ yvonne
I will commit and share this story with my friends. It would be an honor. And I'm so sorry for the mother.
DONE!- I will be more than happy to sponsor these cheetahs for 2 years. We as humans must take care of our wildlife!
I feel physically ill thinking about what these little guys and especially their mom have endured, but I'm so glad they found their way to you.
The Miracle Five are adorable. Thank God they were found.
- Man this is a sad reality❗. . . Seeing someone wear or flaunt a fur coat is bad enough‼ - The question now is how to reform a would be poacher with something more productive as a means of income❓- Shout out to all the people who work to take care of these animals from harm - 🙏🏼
- I'm aware - @A von - but thanks anyway - My remark about a fur coat is separate to this video - Take care.
Reform poachers with a bullet through the skull.
Find out why they are poaching in the first place. The answer isn't always obvious.
The biggest issue is that poachers thenselves are usually men trying to make a living for their families. If there we're more legitimate jobs available poaching wouldn't be as lucrative. Also China has a huge exotic meat market idk why they're not getting sanctions for contributung to declining wild animal species.
@@deathbycheese850 Why do people like you justify this garbage?
Dear Kev, as I watched the video of the 5 little baby cheeters for the third time I felt a cool stream of tears trickling down my face I knew in my heart I wanted to help with your awsome plan of giving these little darlings a start of two years good safe life,I will get my daughter to set up for me, do not forget You, and your family and the sanctuary are in my prayers continualy,bless you much, Helen. 💞💜
Oh I am absolutely going to be one of those 800! Thank you for giving us an opportunity to help take care of these beautiful animals!
Thanks for being one of the surrogate family! 🙌
Donated before the video was finished. Every animal deserves a chance at a full life.
OMG!!!!! This is just heartbreaking WTH!!!! I"m so glad the cubs were found. Thank you to Matt & those amazing gentleman who found these precious little souls! They are so adorable. And I can't wait to see the unfolding of the Miracle 5!! Thank you Kevin for all you do for the wildlife in Africa!
Oh dear, this is absolutely heart breaking! The horror the poor cheetah suffered is unimaginable! God bless you Kevin and team for taking these tiny babies in and giving them a chance.
This story is so full of sadness and hope at the same time. All i can say is THANK YOU for what you do, Kevin!
I started studying zoology this year because I wanted to work in conservation and honestly, it hasn't been easy and I started to question if I'd be able to do it and if it would end up being worth it. But this video reminded me why I wanted to do it :) you guys are such an inspiration. Keep doing what you do!
Awesome! Thanks so much and wishing you the very best of luck! 🙌
I am in Australia and have my Zoology degree but have not been able to do much with. I do have family in South Africa but I do not have the funds or the ability to currently do research (only have a Bachelors degree). So good luck with your studies

You a good man . 100% respect i have for you
I can't get to your foundation's site either. All I keep getting is "This site can't be reached." ☹️
I have been trying to get in for about 20 minutes and can’t get through to the site. :-(
I’m so disgusted with those who slaughtered the momma cheetah, how can human beings be so cruel. I’m so thankful for Kevin for all he’s doing to assure The Miracle 5 live healthy lives. 💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾
Thank you for your comment and I just want to add that millions of animals are slaughtered on a daily basis pigs chickens cows etc anyone reading this heartbreaking this young mother was slaughtered and people are angered by it but farm animals are slaughtered everyday not anything different 🥺
@@gemuccia1 cheetahs are endangered.
This is sad and infuriating at the same time . My wife and I refuse to wear real leather and fur because of stuff like this. I'm glad that you rescued the cubs . I plan on contributing as soon as I get paid .
My monthly pmt has gone through.nothing has been more rewarding than doing this,and thank you kev for going into the direction you were born to do,and that is to save all animals,bless you.
Bless you Diane!!
Omg I pray the poachers get poached, and may they receive no mercy. Thank you & all of the heroes who fight hard to eradicate this heinous act. Love you all ❤
Dear Kevin, thanks for taking in the cubs. You will receive donations for them for sure.
You are an inspiration to me. Everyone on the team is.
How horrific! 😪💔
Thank you Kevin, and your team for taking these 5 little miracles in. Bless you all.🙏 The sanctuary is the silver lining in all of this, for these cubs.
Kevin I would be delighted to contribute a commitment of 5 dollars a month for the Miracle 5 Cubs.
Thank you so much for your patience. The site is back up please do try again x
@@kevinrichardsonfoundation8031 Many of us are still trying to get in and can’t. Not sure if you are aware. This is after the post about the site being back up.
These cubs didnt save themselves, this miracle was sponsored by human heros. Thanks for protecting these beautiful creatures!
Oh my heart. These darlings are so adorable. Thank you for giving them and other Cheetahs a chance.
Nothing breaks my heart or angers me more than animals being hunted, hurt or taken at the hands of humans. God bless the miracle 8. God bless and protect all animals and the amazing humans who dedicated their lives to protecting them. 🙏🏻💜
God bless all the people that searched for these cubs and worked so hard to make sure they didn't leave one behind. You are the real heroes! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Kevin🙏 what a blessing to be part of this beautiful expression of Love..I couldn't sigh up fast enough! ❤
What a sad story...Poor mother cheetah😔These beautiful 5 miracles are lucky to have Kevin around🙏Great job!! I will donate the money🐾
Very sad to hear what happened to the mother, but am relieved and happy to know that the cubs will be taken care of and released into the wild when they are ready. Thank you for the wonderful videos, and everything you do for all of these amazing animals!!
OMG how sad! These 5 beautiful babies are so adorable! ❤️
When I read all these comments I regain faith in humanity that I've lost over the years. Thank you for that and thank you all for helping the babies
The capacity of human evil knows no bounds. Thank you so much for saving them🙏🙏🙏
Cant even think of the words to describe this man and the incredibly important work he does every single day of his life. He's a miracle also.
They survived against all the odds. That's how legends are born. Thank you Kevin for giving them a chance to live a life that they deserve.
I'm proud to be in the #team800.
I couldn't click donate fast enough. I know that these little ones will be well cared for.
i love you baby
How can anyone harm any creature? OMG😩😩😩 This is heartbreaking💔Monsters! People hurting animals often don’t stop from hurting humans as well, if necessary in their eyes… So happy to know that there are people like you, Kevin🙏🏻Another great reason to visit your Sanctuary❣️🐆🐾 Let’s hope for the best in the future of the Miracle5❣️🙏🏻 Of course, we want to help❣️❣️❣️
@Jade Ravenwolf Why make a moronic comment on such a sad post? 😈☠️👿
When humanity goes missing we all grow a little weaker , please keep doing what you do much respect
Ive managed to pay by doing it in dollars instead of pounds sterling! Thank you Kevin for taking these 5 little miracles and caring for them. You are a true Hero as are the whole team. I'm visualising a positive future where crimes such as this that has happened to their mum are a thing of the past. We have to believe ..... Bless you all.
Love how you break it down so simply for these little fur babies - asking specifically for $5 per month doesn’t sound too intimidating. Thank you for rescuing the 5 little brothers and sisters 🙏🏼
I signed up as Donater. Im from Norway! Been watching your channel for years,and you guys do great work!
Thank you, appreciate your support!
Kevin Richardson, You're a god among men. There should be more people like you out there. Keep up the great work.
I'm thankful that I am in a financial position to be one of the 800. I can't wait to see the updates of their journey
We as mankind are evil and cruel, thankfully we have people like kevin and his colleagues who are saint's. Sending blessings 🙏
Yes! You mentioned that this is what you wanted to use the sanctuary for once the lions move on. A tragic story, but one with a happy ending. I'm so glad I'm contributing to supporting this, even if it's just a little. I look forward to seeing these babies growing up.
The website is up!! With a heavy heart, I'm happy to be able to help the cheetah Cubs!! The miracle 5!! Thanks for all you do!!😘
Dear Kevin, I just signed up as part of the 800 people! Thank you so much for all you do to protect these precious animals. May many more of these endangered animals find a safe future in the wild. Deep gratitude
cant stop my tears. The miracle five have a long way in front , even tough, but they hv care from all the kindest hearts around them
Breaks my heart what happened to their mother. 💔 but out of that tragedy will be hope and love for the miracle 5. Count me in!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙
Pushed the Donate button and so happy to do so for the next 2yrs to help these poor cubs. I am sure they will thrive with your help. Thank you so much for all the work you do educate us humans.
That is horrible. At least they will be well cared for.
Thank you so much for taking care of these awesome creatures over the years!!! Bless you and your helpers!!!
Such a shocking find -. May these cubs be blessed with health and a full life ! With Kevin Richardson intervening I have every faith the miracle 5 will thrive ! Sending every good vibe and lots of love from Canada !
these are the most adorable and precious babies I've ever seen. Glad they were saved. Poor mother. I hope she didn't suffer.
OMG Kevin! Cheetahs are so cute. Love you and the team. 💙💙💙🥰😍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🦁
I started donating monthly, people like you deserve it and those puppies deserve it too ❤️
Cubs not puppies. Cats, like lions, tigers and leopards, have cubs. Dogs don’t
OMG, this is so amazing, count me in, I wanna be their Mom ❤️
The world needs more K Rich's and all those them that help him.
There are ignorant monsters in this world called Humans, I Pray momma devours whom did this to her in the spirit world. Thank you for rescuing her
babies💖..... I'm donating to these 5 miracles 🙌
I am all set up to contribute for the next two years. My heart is broken and I cannot thank you enough for taking on these adorable babies. It is unbelievable that humans can be this cruel to a innocent animal. I will always support what you do for GOD's precious animals until the day I die. Much love, Lynn (Amelia, OH).
So absolutely heartbreaking to hear this story. Thank you Kevin for providing an ongoing safe space for these precious little ones to grown and learn and then be released. RIP Mumma Cheetah.
Donation done. 💚💚
Oh those poor babies. Of course I’ll help. Thank goodness they’re in your care now.
Absolutely barbaric! Now the lives of those five cubs are in a precarious position. But the cubs do have a fighting chance. Thank you Mr. Richardson.
They are miracles...thank you doesn't seem enough to say for the goodness of those who found them and your Sanctuary Kevin for ensuring their welfare xx
so happy that i was able to set up a donation plan and be a part of changing these cubs' life! these cubs deserve nothing but the best the world has to offer!!
So proud to help you , who are helping others.
They are precious babies this is a sad heart wrenching story but the fact they survived gives hope
This is so sad... poor cubs having to grow up without a mother which is already hard enough with cheetahs being one of the most vulnerable big cats... props to kevin and his team for taking appropriate care of them
Just signed up. Thank you Richard for helping the baby cubs... i’m sure they’ll grow up to be extremely healthy :)
Heartbreaking. People that commit this heinous crime are not human. The cubs are absolutely adorable. I wish them well. Bless all of you who take care of them. I hope that my monthly donation helps them and you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can’t get on in the UK, however I’ve just joined as a normal member which just about covers all the animals in your care. Thank you for the amazing work your doing and continue to do
Lions are my favorite big cats. But I have to say the baby cheetahs are the cutest of all baby animals. So adorable
