Coordinator Report - Devin Saari

Great day to end the month on, and we had enough volunteers come in to get feeding, cleaning, projects, and tours done! Karla Pinzon and Tanya Chute finished cleaning early so they were able to finish food prep before lunch. Sharon Henry handed out the cicles. Tanya Chute cleaned the big hospital

There were a few projects completed today.

• Mrs. Claws' old cage was finished. Thanks to Taylor Tyree, Gabby Wickershamand, and Dylan Lavigne
• Ashley Tait cleaned off the patio in front of the big hospital.
• The bubble across from Keisha in Tiger Island was started today. Thank you to Matt Dawson, Randy Groves, Tanya Chute, Mazz, Dylan Lavigne, Ashley Tait, and Brooklynne Dillon.

Thank you to everyone who helped out today!

Zimba Serval lived in a basement with 4 other servals for the first 13 years of his life but has called Big Cat Rescue home for the last 8 years. Learn his story and why African Servals should never be kept as pets:

Apollo is a Siberian Lynx who LOVES his Coolaroo- Notice the black on the tip of his tail goes all the way around. Unlike a bobcat whose tail is black on top and white on bottom. Photo by Keeper MaryLou Geis (MaryLou has been a keeper at Big Cat Rescue for about 22 years)
