“Laredo Border Control contacted us in April of 2022 saying that they had found a tiger cub and needed to find a home for her. We accepted and drove down to Laredo to pick her up. We were originally told that she was about three months old, but by her size, she was probably closer to two months old. She had been found in a house when the police went in for an unrelated reason.”
