Zeus

Meet Zeus!

We asked Catherine from “Stitched with Purpose” to create something special for Kusudi La. This year she has created mini-Zeus, in honour of long standing and very handsome permanent resident at SAID – Zeus!

Zeus is no ordinary donkey; he’s a true survivor with a heart full of courage. When he first arrived at SAID in 2023, he carried the scars of a hard past: overgrown hooves, injuries on his hind quarters, and a deep fear of humans after being beaten as a cart donkey.

But Zeus’s story is one of resilience and healing. Under the care of SAID, and with the gentle guidance of CEO Meg Harvey, who began her tenure the same year Zeus arrived, he has blossomed. Their bond is something truly special, built on trust, patience, and kindness.

Today, Zeus is loved by all who meet him. His journey reminds us of the power of compassion and the incredible transformation that happens when animals are given the chance to feel safe, respected, and cherished.
