THIS LIONESS WAS NOT IN THE BEST OF HER HEALTH, WHEN SHE MET THIS STRANGER

A Gift

Not only that, Because of his good nature Kahn was presented cinder-block stairs that were built to help him reach his den’s height. It was like a heaven for this ill-treated lion. His den was big, spacious and well kept.

A Friend Needed

Now, the only thing the boy needed was a friend to play with. The chamber next to his remained empty until the arrival of Sheila. And when the two met they hit it off in no time. The two began very good friends but that was not what their relationship was all about. Sheila who was already struggling with her abysmal health began to respond to medicines.

Things In Common

Both the wild cats had gone through the same kind of tragedy, however, the situations of both were a little different. The in-sync founder explains ‘It was easy to treat him and get him comfortable with his new surroundings. Sheila, on the other hand, was in very bad shape … Sheila was almost dead.”

Getting Beautiful Again

Keahey opened up about the improving condition of both the lions.”As time went by they both healed and grew into beautifully grown lions.” She continued “In the meanwhile, we had finished our new lion enclosure. The way it was designed would have Kahn and Sheila living next door to each other.”

All Lost

The two would spend a lot of time playing with each other. The facility members suspected it to be more than friendship. Keahey remarked, “Sheila spent the next few months showing off for Kahn, and Kahn strutted his stuff for her.” Their love for each other was no more a secret. Everyone had realized that.

 Going On Dates

Seeing their affection for each other, the organization did let them date. But before that, they spayed Sheila so that no happy accident takes place. The two would often be seen around each other. Vicky explained ‘we did short dates every day, then the dates got longer and then the dates became unsupervised.’
