When the owner decided to move, he left the two cougars in the care of his elderly father who didn't really have the time or desire to care for the cats properly.
Realizing that the cats deserved a better life, the owner's sister called In-Sync in hopes we could provide them with a loving, nurturing home. Since we just completed the new cougar habitat, we agreed to take in the cats.
Lassiter is very sweet and enjoys playing with his Kong. He can't seem to figure out how to climb. The one time he managed to get on top of his den, he did so by putting his front paws and head on top of the den and shimmying himself up using the chain link fence.
