Denny, Becky, Edith, Gale and Honey at Staff - Committee Meeting

First ever meeting of the Staff and the Volunteer Committee.  We discussed ways to improve our volunteer program, came up with some great ideas, shifted around some job descriptions and will be changing some of our tour offerings to maximize our ability to provide the best services to the cats and the public possible at the least cost to our donors.

SASSY Female Caracal

DOB 12/6/94

Sassy and Rusty share a large cat-a-tat and can usually be found napping nestled together. Rusty tends to overgroom Sassy, so she ends up looking like she’s wearing a band of short fur around her neck. Though Sassy is the smaller one of the two, she certainly calls the shots at feeding time. Despite living among cat-a-tats of lions, tigers, and leopards, the feeders always make sure Sassy is fed first or she will cause quite a ruckus. The saying, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease” certainly applies to this little spitfire at feeding time. She is as feisty as they come.

RUSTY Male Caracal

DOB 3/28/97

Rusty has some of the most beautiful features you will find in a caracal.  Having been around humans all of his life, he is extremely interested in what the volunteers who clean his enclosure are up to every day.  Even when he is enjoying a delightful catnap, he insists on jumping up and following the volunteers around his cat-a-tat, all the while marking his palm fronds and rubbing his cheeks against the wire.  He is in constant motion while he enjoys his “human enrichment.”

ROSE Female Caracal

DOB 3/28/97

Rose is such a friendly caracal that she was featured in Jack Hanna’s show “Wild Adventures” for a demonstration of photo tour techniques.  Guests love looking at the characteristic black tufted ears of this little caracal.  Rose, like many other wild cats that were raised to become pets, did not learn proper grooming techniques from her mother when she was young.  This explains the matted sections of fur she so often has on her coat.   Cachanga helps her out with the grooming now.
