Meet the Snow Leopards

Dash (on left) & Dot (on right)

Born in April of 2007, these two snow leopards are brothers. They don’t enjoy working together as much as when they were little, however they do work extremely well by themselves. They are beautiful cats, very photogenic, and have an incredible stare. Few photographers pass on the snow leopards when visiting our facility. Picture provided by Rod Barbee.

Meet the Mountain Lions

Attilli

Born February of 2006, Attilli is one of the all time favorites because while he is working he is constantly purring. He is a big boy, weighing in at around 100 pounds. He loves playing ball and is well-known for being able to sit up and wave good-bye. Attilli is a great cat for getting gorgeous portraits. Pictures provided by Cassie Bassford.

Rose’s and Atticus’ birthday!

On January 15, 2009, Rose, our grizzly, turned 2 years old. The birthday party was celebrated with a large birthday cake that she devoured almost instantly! She must have known how special she looked in her birthday hat because she never took it off during her party!

Shortly after Rose’s birthday, we celebrated Atticus’ third birthday. His cake was made of replacement milk and beef heart! Yum!! At first, he didn’t know quite what to make of it but, within minutes, dove right in, licking it until it was gone.
