Sometimes, when we least expect it, good things come to us. We must have all experienced something truly unexpected and amazing at least once in each of our lives. The caretakers of this frail lioness were shocked to see an unexpected turn of event. Through the lioness’s experience, they realized that miracles do come true.
A Special Lioness
Just looking at her, it is not hard for anyone to see that Sheila is a very special big cat. With her unique coloration, there is no denying that this lioness is beautiful. Her distinctive colors are due to a dormant gene dubbed the color-inhibitor or chinchilla gene. It’s indigenous and only exists in a place in South Africa called Timbavati.
Suffering From Toxoplasmosis
In-Sync soon discovered that Sheila was suffering from another medical condition. She actually had toxoplasmosis, with a major lack of Vitamin A to add to it. Toxoplasmosis is a parasite gets transferred into the blood of an animal. This disease is not harmful to humans but can be fatal to a cat. Sheila, being a big cat, this was a matter of concern.
Getting An Antibiotic Treatment
There was only one thing the facility could do. So they took the chance and so the caretakers immediately got the ailing lioness on an antibiotic treatment. This fortunately worked and soon the lioness was showing signs of recovery. However, this was not the only thing that attributed to the healing of this beautiful lioness.
Another Lion Enters
The story of this incredible lioness continues and does not stop with the antibiotics. It turns out that Sheila was not the only animal getting saved from the vicious entertainment center in Texas. Before the rescuers were coming to save Sheila, In-Sync had already managed to save a lion by the name, Kahn.
The Story Of Kahn
Kahn was just six years when he was rescued. This mighty lion was a show animal. His main job was to dazzle and amuse guests at private shows. When Kahn arrived at the center, it was surprising to see that he was very aggressive when it came to food and had even bitten off the end of his tail, most probably due to stress and anxiety.
A New Home
Kahn was getting the treatment that he deserved and showed a rapid recovery. The facility wanted to further help Kahn get to his best shape. So what did they do? His dear guardians at the center built Kahn a brand new set of cinder-block stairs. This was not the only thing Kahn could look forward to…
A Friendly Neighbor
This other surprise that the facility kept for Kahn was about to be revealed. The facility introduced these revamped lion cages. So soon enough, Kahn and Sheila who had both been victims of abuse from the same vicious center were now neighbors. They hit it off straightaway and befriended each other.
