That really does your heart good to hear good news on wild cats. I am
very glad they are free to live a more normal sort of life & that their health
is being closely monitored. I really am so glad to read this part of the update.

"1All our rescued big cats are prevented from breeding, either by vasectomising the males or speying / giving hormone implants to the females. Any form of captivity is undesirable for wild animals, even those born into captivity, and we do not want to add to the captive population. In addition, sanctuary space is in very short supply internationally and we need to keep those precious spaces for big cats in the most need."
