Leopard Shazam and over 100 rescued wild cats are waking up, waiting for their morning greeting from the caretakers as they do rounds to ensure every cat is happy and healthy. Each cat eagerly awaits their morning meal where roughly 200 lbs of wholesome meat is prepared to start their day.
Cats like Nigel the caracal are positively rewarded for taking their morning insulin injection and other medications. Over 13 medications and supplements are prepared each day. The small cats at Hybrid Haven are snuggled up in comfy beds in their heated bungalows. Hilo and a few head outdoors to their yard to play on their rocks, trees and perches.
Ekaterina the tigress visits the on-site veterinary clinic to have a root canal performed on a broken tooth. Like nearly all the wild cats at the Sanctuary, Ekaterina was a privately-owned wild cat who sadly was declawed on all four paws. At the Sanctuary, she receives much needed treatments and preventative care to stay healthy.
