Big Cat Updates

Summary: Cats & Pumpkins, Wild Jaguars, Halloween Facebook Cover Photos, Halloween Greetings, Halloween videos, Will Bobcat update, Cat-opoly, & More

Cyrus Caracal appears to be enjoying his first Halloween at Big Cat Rescue. ~Keeper Aleesa S.

Kathryn, Afton, and Dr. Wynn have been caring for Will.  He is on a series of new medications and is getting fluids daily.  He is eating better after being brought inside.  We are monitoring him closely and taking it one day at a time.  He spends most of his day curled up on his fleece bed napping.  Will's bio page has been updated with photos, too.  THANKS you to viewers who requested that be done.  Let me know if that amount of photos is slowing down the page loading on your phones & tablets, as I can take some of them off.

 HAPPY GROWLAWEEN!

Apollo's Pumpkin / Jack-O-Lantern has some extra goodies.  ~Keeper Aleesa S.

Keeper Alyssa Weber - Nikita Lion says her pumpkin is quite "tasty" and it is ALL HERS!!!

Keeper Aleesa got a cute snapshot of Des with his pumpkin.  He was not quite sure about it.  I guess, it does look a little odd with treats sticking out the "eyes," LOL.  Eventually, he done right in but not until he was sure no one was still watching.

Keeper Afton:  I love finding silly things at the office. I just had to try it on!!

Kathryn just sent Afton this photo of Divinity out and about enjoying the warm sun on a cool fall day.

Cat-opoly

Some of you have been asking when the Cat-Opoly Game will be back in-stock.  Got word from Honey this morning that it will be back in stock and ready to order within 2 weeks.  If you want an email alerting you when it is back in stock drop and email to lawanna.mitchell@bigcatrescue.org and I'll let you know the day they arrive.

Cat-opoly is a feline frenzy of fun! Buy your favorite cats such as the Tonkinese, the Ragdoll, the Abyssinian, the Sphinx, or the Maine Coon.  Land on Catnip and collect everything in the center of the board. Collect Litter Boxes and trade them in for Fish Bones. You may have to pay dog tax to get past the neighborhood bully, a spike collared bulldog, or worst of all, you may fall in the water and be out for three turns.  Cat-astrophic!...there's nothing madder than a wet cat! Cat-opoly is great fun for family and friends. A perfect gift for all cat lovers!  For ages 8 and up, 2 to 6 players. Warning: Choking Hazard Contains small parts not suitable for children under 3 years.

 Studying Cats in the Wild

The way wild cats should live, IN THE WILD not in cages! See the Jaguar across the river on the riverbank?  Our goal is that one day this is the way everyone will see jaguars.
