Our Cats & Their Stories
Elsa II Lion
Elas 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. Elsa is one of the tallest lionesses we have had at the center. She lives with her roommate, Rafiki. Elsa is a lover who loves to run up to her keepers to greet them and give them “ohms”. She can also be seen playing with her Boomer ball, batting them across the enclosure to chase.
