Arthur and Andre

Arthur and Andre were born in NJ in 1996 and relocated to a Texas sanctuary in 2003 along with their sister Amanda. When the Texas facility was forced to shut down in 2010, these three tigers were still at the facility a year later and were facing court-ordered euthanasia if a home could not be found for them—along with 4 other tigers from their original NJ home. See Amanda’s story for more background.

These two tigers have become staff favorites at Big Cat Rescue as they are always up to something and are such all-singing/all-dancing hams. After a couple weeks getting acclimated to their new home, they began to spend time on the part of their enclosure (which was made from 5 separate enclosures joined together) closest to where people pass by and perform. They are both quite vocal and hang around together with much mooing and moaning.
