New Arrival Snow Leopard Shree, Needs Sponsors!

Safe Haven welcomes snow leopard Shree! We are thrilled to accept our first snow leopard placement from the Snow Leopard Foundation. Although our mission was founded in support of rescuing native orphaned wildlife not eligible for reintroduction and surrendered and confiscated exotic felines, we are also working with both the Cheetah and Snow Leopard species survival plans, proving lifelong care once retired from the program.

Shree was diagnosed with Swimmer’s disease which caused her legs to splay outward, affecting her mobility. Although they were able to successfully treat her, she was not able to continue to participate in the breeding program. Shree was housed with a male, but both started behaving aggressively toward each other and had to be separated. Shree’s new Safe Haven home includes a spacious 10,000-square-foot habitat with mature Austrian pine trees, multi-level shade and climbing platform, and air-conditioned den.
