Big Cat Updates

Sioux & Lakota are outside.  They are currently in Ginger’s old enclosure.  Sioux is locked in one section and Lakota is in the other section.  Until Sioux is fixed on Monday and has time to recover from that the cats need to remain separated.  Then if they want back together we will reintroduce them.  They are on quarantine so they have their own cleaning tools etc.   They have sure been busy checking out their new home and, of course, marking everything.

Cameron and Zabu are having a great vacation.  YOU CAN WATCH them on the high quality live streaming webcam at explore.org/bigcatrescue

Hoover:  Yesterday he refuses breakfast but then throughout the day he ate a combined total of 12 lbs.

Joseph:  Did not eat much yesterday so this morning he did eat a pretty good breakfast. YAY

Cameron:  Yesterday he ate a small breakfast but did eat a pretty good dinner.

TJ:  Yesterday he refused all his breakfast but then between his lunch, snack, and dinner he ate a combined total of 10.5 lbs.

 TWO NEW CATS

Have you met Sioux & Lakota, the two new cats who were picked up in Alabama a couple days ago?  If not check out yesterday’s update for the story and photos.

You can help us cover the expenses of this rescue and their future care at bigcatrescue.org/rescue

Keeper Lauren B:  A huge thank you to Nicolle E. DiRaffaele and Bob for the donation of this personalised cat tree for the Big Cat Rescue foster kittens. I’m sure it will have hours of use and provide lots of fun to the little ones ? Below is their contact information if anyone is looking for a new tree for their furry family members!

I’ve posted this before but it sure deserves another posting!!
