spring

Spring, a male cougar, spent 9 years in a flimsy wire cage. Being extremely bonded to the only humans he knew, Spring didn't know he was a cougar. He had a difficult adjustment after his owners chose to surrender him. TWS provided all the love and care we could but we were unfamiliar faces to Spring. He refused to eat his first week at the Sanctuary. Spring was very fearful and confused when we introduced him to the other cougars. He just wanted to run and hide.

Spring is getting more confident each day and now will rub along the fence when he sees his caretakers. We know Spring will blossom into a magnificent, confident cougar some day, but being deprived of his wild side for so many years, it will take time.
