Big Cat Updates

SUMMARY:  Bobcat Rehab updates for Cooper, Teuci, & Noel. Foster kitten updates. Geronimo update.

Keep Afton’s Coordinator Report for Tuesday, 1/9/2018

We were a bit short handed today, but everybody worked well together to make it happen.

Day 2 of Panacur was completed, and everyone took it. YAY!! We added some extra food to their diets for tomorrow since it is their last day of Panacur. We will also go around in the afternoon tomorrow and hand out some additional snacks.

Babycakes was really liking ground turkey today. He is still loving a nice nap curled up on his Skippie bed.

Keeper Afton 1/6/2018: With how busy the holidays were and all of the new rescues, I have not been able to walk around and take photography in months…until today. This is my favorite picture I took of Natalia the Amur leopard.
