Our beloved Zabu left us yesterday. She was lethargic & not eating. Blood work indicated final stage kidney failure. She was humanely euthanized. While kidney failure is the medical cause, we believe she died of a broken heart. She’s back w/ her Cameron & for that we're grateful.
Apollo, the 22-year-old Siberian Lynx, got an air conditioner and he is LOVING IT!!!!! Watch his ears flying in the breeze!!

Hoover Tiger's nighttime splashes. Big cats are usually active at night which is why, here at Big Cat Rescue we do not believe it is fair to lock them up inside "night houses" like many places do. They love being outside at night. The sanctuary is a busy place a night.
