The Caretakers Of These Abandoned White Tigers Are A Hot Topic Of Discussion On Reddit For A unique Reason

Getting Instagram Famous

And after being rescued by the Russian couple, Kai and White have become quite famous. The rare white tigers are now Insta-famous and the world cannot seem to get enough of them. They have a massive fan following because let’s face it, they are magnificent to look at. These cats eat up a lot of meat and would roll around and play in the grass. There photos and videos have garnered much attention.

Human Care

There were not the only cats that Mikhail has taken care of. In fact, he revealed that majority of the tigers he has taken under his care have been abandoned by their moms that live in zoos. These mothers do not know how to fend for their kids nor do they know how to properly care for them. He knows that human care is the only thing that can save them from dying.

Abandoned Exotic Pets

And it turns out Mikhail and his wife are not only looking after just tigers. They have even helped out with and cared for several other animals too. These animals were born at the zoo and were in dire need to be hand-reared. Since their mother are not equipped to look after them, they need the attention and care from the humans as they are the only ones capable of doing so.

Not As Pets

In fact, there is a long list of Mikhail’s work and help with such animals. He has been involved in rescueing exotic pets from people who have taken them as cubs and were unable to give shelter, care or feed them any longer. So since the couple had seen so many of these animals that people unknowingly bring into their care, the have a recommendation? They advice people to never adopt a wild animal as a fancy pet!

Thriving Cats

And although the Russians have helped the two “cats” get healthy and fit, there are many who still had something to complain about. Even though they looked happy and healthy, there were a few people who were still upset when they saw the cats in captivity. There was a popular Reddit thread that was dedicated to the story of White and Kai discussing the handlers’ intentions…

Topic On Reddit

These people were concerned because they felt like these felines belong in the wild and should not be kept by the humans. Their Reddit thread was under the topic, “A reputable rescuer would let wild cats live in big enclosures (think Big Cat Rescue in FL) and does not make them live in a home and do tricks.” And this was not all there was talking about these beautiful tigers.
