castle and vista

Castle and Vista are wild-born cougars found orphaned in the California wilderness. It took many people, coming together, to help these confused and frightened little ones. Vista has significant neurological problems that affect her ability to walk and cause her muscles to atrophy. Her brother, Castle, is feisty and healthy. He watches over his sister and guards her. The incredible bond they shared is no surprise, given all they’ve been through in their short little lives. The Wildcat Sanctuary is to be their final stop. Here, they are provided with an environment that allows Vista to thrive, despite her disability. She and her brother finally feel safe and secure and will live out their lives - wild at heart.

Vista loves to play with her plastic balls. She also does very well climbing her perches and chasing her brother. Neither her or her brother notices her disability.
