Happy Belated Birthday Kenya!

Seems I'm falling behind with so much going on at the sanctuary, but I needed to write and wish Kenya a  belated happy birthday :) Kenya was our very first serval rescue, and from the minute I saw him, my heart went out to him. He was in a laundry room with no window, with a bengal cat as his companion. They only let him out occasionally because he sprayed and had diarrhea.  I told them that domestic cat food isn't good for wildcats and that was the reason he had such bad potty habits, but they told me they didn't want him and literally picked him up and put him in my arms. That sealed the deal, he came home with me that night. (after I put him in a crate, of course). He was only 8 months old and they had already grown tired of caring for him. The novelty of a "wildcat as a pet" had worn off very quickly, but I'm so glad it did.

Today he lives with three other servals and is devoted to them.  They eat, sleep, play and nap together and when I see him today, my thoughts go back to that thin, sad boy sitting on top of the washing machine so many years ago .  .  . Happy birthday beautiful Kenya, we're so glad to have you here at WildCat Haven.
