Lindsey, a Siberian lynx, was one of 30+ kittens born on a fur farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. Sadly, fur farms still prosper in both the United States and Canada. Had Lindsey’s path not let her to TWS, her life would have ended prematurely on the fur farm at the age of two. Unfortunately, there are many others like Lindsey who are not as lucky and suffer unimaginable fates in fur farms each year. Luckily, both Lindsey and her brother Otis were given a second chance to live out their lives at TWS where they can be wild at heart.

Understandably, Lindsey arrived at TWS filled with mistrust. Lindsey was very aggressive when she arrived at TWS and quickly developed a reputation of being a bully among the other residents. As time went by, Lindsey learned to trust and enjoys the solitude afforded her at TWS. Having lived out her welcome with other roommates, Lindsey lives alone in her own habitat.

A truckload of pine trees was donated to the sanctuary after the 2003-2004 holiday season. Lindsey’s curiosity overtook her when one of the trees was brought into her habitat. Typically, Lindsey preferred to remain high atop her favorite perch, which gave her the perfect vantage point over all activity at the sanctuary. Trying not to appear too intrigued, Lindsey stretched and yawned before coming down to check out the latest addition. Lindsey proceeded to investigate the new smells, the texture, and even the taste of the tree. Upon completing her investigation, Lindsey expressed her approval by lying underneath the bushy pine.
