Leopard at Big Cat RescueLOLA  Female Leopard

DOB 3/1/92

Lola moved to Big Cat Rescue on 3/15/95. Her previous owner had a great rapport with her, but had to move and could not take her or his three Cougars, so they all came here together. This is just another example of why exotic pets like this are such a bad idea.  Life circumstances inevitably change and the animals are left with no where to go.  Luckily, space was found for Lola and the others here at Big Cat Rescue.

Early on, Lola was not fond of large groups so she has an underground den where she can snooze in the shade without being noticed by passersby. Over time, and with a larger cat-a-tat, she has become quite content with meeting the public as they come by and gasp at her beauty. Unlike Jumanji, who loves sleeping in the shade, Lola can most likely be found snoozing in the sunlight.  The sun reveals the true leopard spot pattern hidden beneath all of her dark fur. She’s even gotten to the point that she will roll over and show you her beautiful belly if you are patient enough to spend some time with her.

Lola is a petite female leopard.  This is never as evident as at feeding time.  While our other leopards charge into their feeding areas at dinner time, Lola will saunter over and daintily eat her dinner very, very slowly. To watch Lola move is awe-inspiring, as she moves with such grace and dignity.  You can feel her peaceful connection to all that is around her in her every move or flicker of a whisker.
