Our Cats & Their Stories
Charger Tiger
Charger came from Operation Snow Plow and is one of the remaining Wild Boyz. Operation Snow Plow was an undercover investigation that started in 1997. It was an investigation into the illegal trafficking of exotic animals in the US by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. Across 6 states, multiple federal charges were brought against people. Charger, the other Wild Boyz , and other cats were brought in from near Chicago, Illinois. They had spent most of their lives in smaller enclosures crammed in with many other cats and no human contact. Their background made the boys very temperamental and we had to build an enclosure to make them feel at home here. The Wild Boys were put into one of our largest enclosures away from the public area. Even in their old age, the boys still have some wild in them. Charger is a cute old man even if he is grumpy and likes to tell us about it.
