Named after a friend of CCF, B2 arrived at CCF in August when he was just 4 months old. As a young cub without his mother, B2 required lots of care and staff attention and resources to keep him fed, healthy and happy!
It has now been four months since we rescued this amazing cheetah and he is doing very well and has made a full recovery here at CCF. On 4 December, also International Cheetah Day, B2 ran with the lure for the first time! This was very exciting and he was curious and responded very well.
Currently, CCF keepers are working to bond B2 with another solo male, Pheonix (one of our hand raised orphans who is six years old). Hopefully, before too long, the two males can share the same enclosure. When we first began introducing B2 to our other cats, he would sit with his back against the enclosure's fence, and ignore the other cats as they vocalized and hissed. With time and paitence, we are very please to share that they are doing well now! We are very excited about how they are getting on. A slow process, though, spending a few hours a day together with us monitoring closely. B2 really seems to enjoy his new pal.
Rescue efforts like this take a lot of staff time and resources, and can be very costly. We are very pleased that members of the local community know that they can depend on CCF to help care for wounded and orphaned cheetahs. Rescues such B2's would not be possible without your support.
