Runner up in the 2024 Tigers in America-Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries annual photo and video contest to celebrate International Tiger Day.
“In the fall of 2022, the Compound Manager at S&R Productions got news that the Secret Garden in Las Vegas was closing. The Mirage had been sold and all animals had to be rehomed. This was unexpected and heartbreaking for the keepers who had cared for the cats their entire lives.
“After an extensive search and recommendations from the Compound Manager, the Sarmoti Foundation selected WildCat Ridge Sanctuary to provide lifetime care for six tigers.
“Cosmo is playful, very curious, loves to chuff at the keepers and enjoys playing hide and seek with the photographer.”
