Meds for Fergy Liger. The animal care staff is very skilled at hiding the animals' meds deep inside chunks of meat so the animals think they are simply getting yummy little snacks.

HAPPY FRIDAY from Dutchess Tiger. This playful tiger loves to play with her Boomer Balls, toys, and enrichment the Animal Care Staff provides her. She is especially fond of Christmas trees and pumpkins. Her approachable and curious personality endears her to her caretakers. However, her tiger side shows as she chases passing vehicles along her fence.

Selbit Leopard can be a bit grumpy when it’s time for his meds! His keepers are patient and let him go at his own pace. After all, he’s the boss in his world!

Caring for cats at a shelter is a heart-wrenching labor of love, filled with endless challenges, emotional turmoil, and sleepless nights, but it's all worth it for the endless moments of joy, trust, and love from these precious, broken souls.

*** Behind the Scenes *** Animal care staff lured Savannah Lion out of her den area with cinnamon enrichment, locking her out in the habitat so they could clean the den area and make sure her mulch bedding was fresh and dry.

Glacier Tiger is on the lookout, eagerly waiting for the feeding crew! From his cozy spot at the bottom of his habitat, he spotted the truck making its way from the commissary. Now, he’s perched at the top, excitedly anticipating the team’s arrival. These magnificent cats know the routine well and can’t wait for their turn to be served – it’s such an exciting part of their day!

Good morning, friends! It's time for Aria Tiger's morning medications. She always greets her keepers with cheerful chuffs and is very cooperative when it comes to taking her meds. Aria enjoys a spacious outdoor habitat filled with benches and toys. She has two dens and a hanging hammock in her den area, which she really likes. Although she is elderly and faces age-related issues, she never lets anything stop her from chuffing happily with her keepers.

Santana Bobcat receives her daily medication hidden in meatball treats. After devouring her "treat," she expresses satisfaction by rolling around in the grass or leaves.

Our love of our pets is being ruthlessly exploited by faceless thieves. This makes saddening reading.
