Beautiful Nora: Always in our hearts, never forgotten – June 2021
The feeling of sadness is overwhelming and not something we were ready to face, but we have lost our dear Nora. 😢
I’m struggling to find words to express the sorry and heartbreak we’re dealing with. With so many things to say, it’s difficult to put my thoughts together n a way that makes sense. All I can think of is she’s gone and our world will never be the same without this sweet, gentle soul that we adored and cherished so much.
We did everything we could and when it was obvious that it was her time, she was surrounded by the people who loved her the most, helping her move to her next journey.
Nora’s history
Nora, a white Bengal Tiger, has had a very hard life. As a young tiger, she was chained to a box while people paid to have their photos taken with her. When she outgrew that, she was used for breeding. Her cubs were taken away from her in order to be sold as “pets” before their eyes were even open. This was Nora’s life for eight years.
When her owner was found dead, Nora was moved to Tiger Paws Exotic Rescue Facility. She arrived emaciated and in terrible shape. Thankfully, with good food and care, she thrived. But her new owners wanted a better life for her, so we were contacted. We made the 5000-mile round trip journey to Ohio to pick her up and bring her to her final home at WildCat Ridge.
Today, Nora is doing wonderfully, living in a large spacious habitat and enjoying life! She’s an easy-going girl that everyone has fallen in love with!
