lilly

Lilly and Titan, both Bengal tigers, came from the tragedy in Pine County, MN where a woman was killed by Tango, a third tiger. Authorities immediately called TWS to help with the emergency but when our staff arrived at the scene, it was too late for Tango and his owner. Authorities seized the remaining two tigers (Titan and Lilly) from the property. Within 48 hours, TWS was able to respond and transport the wildcats to our new site in Sandstone, MN.

Lilly was extremely underweight and suffered frostbite on her ears and tail. TWS was informed by authorities that Lilly originated from YOR Exotics, where she was found as the last surviving tiger a few years earlier. To survive, Lilly consumed her cage mates after they had passed away from starvation.

Today, Lilly is healing from her emotional wounds. She loves to swim in the pool and play with pumpkins. But what she loves the most is her neighbor, Titan. She will talk to him for hours a day and rub along the fence line.
