Yesterday Was Moving Day for Hillary the Cougar.

What could have been a cat-astrophe actually worked out pretty well. Our goal was to move Hillary cougar over to the ‘new' cougar enclosure and we were successful! After veterinarian Derek McFarland tranquilized Hillary we were able to get paint paw prints, clay molds of front and back paws, and she was also updated on her shots. (Some of the paw prints will be sold at our fundraiser next year, which is Year of the Cougar!)

The enclosure she was moved to is where Tipper has been recuperating from a broken wrist since last May. A lot of work has been done in the kennel/den area, and we still need to complete some tasks in the yard, but that should hopefully be done in the next few days. Hillary didn't need any reversal medication, she started waking up before we even had her completely in the den but it all worked out. She was a little ‘cranky', to say the least and was growling a bit at Tipper so the girls will need some time to get reacquainted. They're separated, but have visual and ‘nose' contact. We'll keep everybody posted as to the date they're released to the yard.
