Although he came with Lilly, they were not living together before they arrived. After a few years of living next to each other, it was obvious they wanted to be together so TWS decided to merge their habitats. As usual, the first thing they did was check out where the other tiger was living—the other place. There were a few scuffles at first—whose ball, whose pool, who says, but once they figured out their places they became inseparable.

Titan is a very relaxed cat, taking everything in stride. His pool is definitely his favorite thing in the summer time and he loves to chase Lilly in and out of it splashing around.

Authorities called TWS to help with the emergency but it was too late for both the owner and the other tiger, Tango. They were both dead. It was reported that the owner, who operated a for-profit USDA-licensed facility that bred, exhibited and sold tigers, fell on hard financial times and could not afford adequate food for the cats. A University of Minnesota veterinary report said that the dead tiger was half his normal body weight and was starving. He weighed about 260 pounds.

Titan was severely malnourished when he arrived at TWS, along with Lilly, another tiger seized by authorities at the same facility.
