Our Cats & Their Stories

Colli Cougar

Colli arrived in 2019 from a facility in California called Wildlife Waystation. Their Board of Directors had voted to surrender the facility’s California Department of Fish and Wildlife permit voluntarily and to close the facility. The facility had suffered through two wildfires and a flood. Overall, we rehomed 15 cats from Wildlife Waystation. Four pumas, six tigers, and five lions were brought to the rescue center over two trips coordinated by the foundation Tigers in America and a fellow rescue, In-Sync Exotics out of Wylie, TX. Colli was rescued by Wildlife Waystation, then gave birth to three babies-Zuni, Kaya, and Wichita. Unfortunately, Colli came declawed but she doesn’t let it slow her down. She is a very talkative cougar who gets very excited around feeding time. Her and her daughters live together off-tour.
