“Tacoma is as fierce as he looks! As a wild-born cougar, he found himself at sanctuary after he was tragically orphaned along with his siblings. Now, he is safe at sanctuary and free to be his true cougar self. At The Wildcat Sanctuary, he lives in a free-roaming habitat with husbandry that perfectly caters to his needs. He’s respected as the fierce some wild cat he is— and he’ll never miss an opportunity to remind us of that fierceness with a smolder!”
