Adonnis

ADONNIS Male Leopard

DOB 3/1/90

Adonnis came to Big Cat Rescue on 5/27/95 from Oklahoma, along with Venus and Bagheera. He was a pet leopard that had been declawed. His owners then moved and didn’t have room for him in their new location. This is just one of so many reasons that leopards don't make good pets. People don’t realize that they are making a 20 year commitment - at least – when they acquire big cats like this. Some leopards have even lived past 29 in captivity.

Adonnis weighs about 100 pounds, and he is definitely not safe to handle. He is surprisingly affectionate, however, and enjoys rubbing against the fence near people he likes. He and Bagheera, his “roommate,” are now able to spend their days together in a very large cat-a-tat built especially for them as a contest prize won by a Big Cat Rescue volunteer. See the re-introduction of Adonnis and Bagheera HERE.
