Baby

    

Baby arrived at SSWC on July 8, 2009 as part of the rescue from a private facility called Walk on the Wildside in AR.  She was one of eight mountain lions that was left/found on a mountain top with no hope of finding a home until Walk on the Wildside took her in.  When Julie and Nick went to pick her up and bring her to SSWC, they are told she loves playing with her toys and “kills” them during feeding time. We are looking forward to watching her play after she settles in.

When Baby was younger she was spayed.  She seemed to do ok right after surgery, but as the days progressed she was unable to eat.  Her owners tried everything to get her to eat, but she’d take a bite and then just turn away.  After conferring with another facility, they tried giving her Pepcid and Carafate.  A few days on the medication and after 18 days of being unable to eat, Baby was finally eating again.   A “nervous ulcer” brought on by the surgery, which would have killed her had not been diagnosed, caused her to stop eating.  When you come out to see Baby, you'll see she is now a healthy cougar. She is settling into her new enclosure and getting to know her roommate, Clyde.
