Three kittens and a herd of goats Yesterday we adopted a trio of kitten boys to be barn cats. Their mama was a feral cat. They were born in a pile of insulation and when they were found, their eyes were all shut due to the irritation. One of our very kind friends was their foster mama for an organization called Community Cat Advocates in Maine. They are so precious, we are calling them Bob (the one with no tail of course) George and Ed. They spent the day exploring and met our barn cat Virginia, all the goat kids, and the chickens. It is amazing how brave they are for little furballs! They will enjoy fresh goat milk for breakfast each morning as they get stronger and settle in!
Rescued lioness walks on grass for first time in her life Yuna, a lioness rescued from an abandoned house in Kiev after the start of the war, was living in a 3 x 4m enclosure with a concrete floor. Evacuated to a wildlife rescue centre, she was then bombarded by Russian missiles, leaving her severely traumatised and unable to stand. It took months of specialist care for Yuna to recover from her post-traumatic stress disorder. Overweight due to inactivity and poor diet, she slowly regained her strength. The first lioness rescued as part of the Big Cats in Crisis campaign , Yuna has regained her confidence in her new sanctuary. Having never walked on grass before, she began to explore her new surroundings with curiosity and determination.
