Coordinator Report – Lauren Buckingham

Another wonderful Monday! It was great to see so many volunteers out to help 🙂 Most of the picky cats ate well. Frosty was the superstar of the day eating over 1lb!

Food prep was done before lunch which was just as well, as we sent out 4 tours this afternoon.

Some of the cats don’t have diets for tomorrow as they are getting Thanksgiving turkeys for the media. Nikki, Kali, Manny, Priya, Natalia, and the cubs.

MC, Steph C., Fred, and Bethany worked in the afternoon clearing up tiger island. Bethann made more cicles as we were running low. Feeding, cleaning, and enrichment sign-offs were done.

That’s it from me!

P.S Below is my picture of the day and how I was greeted first thing this morning ❤️

Videos of the Day

Goodnight from Sleepy Seth Tiger – Did you know that if you make the Calls of the Wild at BigCatAct.com right now you would only need to leave a voicemail message and not even have to speak with a person, however, your simple, quick, free phone call would make a HUGE difference for big cats and their babies?

Happy Leopards getting afternoon snacks with Carole and Kathryn.

This is cute on your desktop or phone, but in an Oculus Go headset you can almost feel the slobber as these curious exotic cats check out the camera.

Guatemala Rescue Update

Jan and Tim kept trying to go LIVE with this. I’m glad they were able to capture this magical moment of circus tigers who will never be forced to perform again.
