Safe travels, beautiful Tasha – July 4 2018
This has been a tough year . . . On July 4th we helped Tasha move on to her new journey 😢
She’d been slowing down over the past few years but in the last weeks even though her spirit was the same her body was getting weaker and weaker. She was such a proud cat knowing she was struggling we made the decision to let her go.
Tasha was three years old when she came to us in 2001. Her owner was moving to Texas and instead of selling her animals she asked if we would give them a home. We took in Tasha, a Siberian Lynx and her companion Tank, four servals and an old bobcat. Over the years we have lost them all except Tasha. And now she’s gone. Things seem very empty at the sanctuary, an era is over and that chapter has closed 😔
Tasha was always in control. Even from the beginning she let us know she was wild and make no mistake about it. We treated her with the respect she demanded and even as she got older she didn’t compromise her convictions, she was the queen of all around her. Having her as part of the Sanctuary for over seventeen years and losing her is something we struggle with, but giving her the freedom she was never able to have gives us some peace of mind. We will miss hearing her calls in the morning that was so much a part of the Sanctuary. Safe travels Tasha, we will carry your spirit in our hearts forever ❤️
