Cat of the Week - Zeus Cougar
The day after Christmas, Zeus, a 13-year old male cougar, was rescued from DeQueen, Arkansas. Zeus' previous owner got the cougar from his aunt who had trouble caring for the cougar and couldn't obtain a permit for the cat. She had to find Zeus a new home. Her nephew took Zeus to another county to get him out of immediate harm. This man had small children at his house so he kept Zeus far out back. He also had trouble getting a permit for Zeus and the authorities wanted the cat gone so the man turned to Turpentine Creek. In November, he called the refuge and asked us to take Zeus. After a trip of about 275 miles to Turpentine Creek, Zeus arrived in good spirits. Zeus enjoys his new life at the refuge and can be heard purring at the staff and interns.
