In this line of work you need to be immune to sadness and saying goodbye as there will come a time that you have bonded so well with an animal but will then have to let it go to a better life. Our 4 princesses, Mishka, Miara, Shilo and Tosca had to go back to the breeding farm where they had come from but with no time to lose we already received two other cubs. Abby( short for Abigail), 6 days of age upon arrival, is the smaller one but very noisy when hungry. Ally(short for Alison), 5 weeks of age upon arrival, is the spitting image of Mishka when it comes to her personality. They are both very young and fragile so we keep them in the clinic under the red lights during the night and most of the day.
They drink a mixture made up of full cream milk, cooking oil, cream, egg yolks, gelatin and protexin to match the milk they would have received from their mothers. They drink very well and they need to be fed during the evening on night shift at certain times.
