CHINA DOLL Female Siberian/Bengal
Tiger
DOB 11/94
When China Doll's owners discovered that they were going to have a baby and
be dealing with terminal illness in their family, they asked Big Cat Rescue
to take their tiger and 8 cougars and we did. Even people who could
afford to give proper care to these cats in large cages, good food and vitamins
and love, were not prepared to commit to a lifetime of care when their personal
situation changed. As a result China Doll came to us as a big, beautiful
cub in April of 1995 as a playmate for Shere Khan. They
have unlimited access to the lake they both love. Whether it’s
swimming after pumpkins we toss in the lake in the fall, or dunking their
toys and each other, it’s
always a special moment to watch their shenanigans. Most days, you will find
the two of them lounging along the lakeshore or nestled in the shade of the
forest they share. Though she is probably half the size of Shere Khan,
China Doll is not at all intimidated by his size. In fact, she actually
calls the shots at feeding time. He is always quite well mannered
and a true gentleman at letting her go first to the feeding area they share. How
far they’ve both come!
