sydney & shay

When Sydney, a Siberian lynx, and Shay arrived at TWS, the signs of past abuse were very apparent. Both had crooked mouths due to their jaws being broken as a result of blunt force. Shay was extremely timid of humans and would shake and defecate if we got too close. They counted on each other for support.

They both have healed emotionally and physically, though Shay still prefers animal companionship over human. She is also losing her sight, but still does wonderfully getting around her enclosure. She and Sydney are still very close and have a 40 x 60 outdoor area with access to a temperature controlled indoor building. They both love to play with catnip and pumpkins. Sometimes Sydney will eat the whole thing.
