Simba

LOLA Male Leopard

DOB 3/1/92

Simba is a male Asian spotted leopard born on 6/6/94. He came to Big Cat Rescue on 8/4/94 with his sister, Nyla, as a bottle fed baby. Simba had the misfortune of being born the wrong sex. Backyard breeders always want more females than males. Since his sister Nyla was cross eyed, he was not a good candidate for breeding and was unwanted. Seeing what a beautiful leopard he has grown up to be, we are fortunate that we were able to take him in to save him from a long life of breeding.

Simba has always had a predisposition for the female volunteers who care for him. This was never more evident than when he was recently relocated to a cat-a-tat near Reno, a former circus performing leopard. Though bigger than Reno, Simba spent most of his time hiding away in his den until he was coaxed out by a female staff member who sat with him and reassured him that everything would be all right. The term “big scaredy cat” never fit anyone more on that day than it did Simba. He quickly adjusted to his new surroundings. He just needed the reassurance, as we all do sometimes, from someone who cares deeply for him.
