Little Leo, found living on a 14th floor balcony in central Beirut, has been successfully relocated to our sanctuary. Without the hard work of Animals Lebanon and the generosity of Elizabeth Elstob, the Marchig Animal Welfare Trust, DHL and Emirates Airlines, his rescue would have not been possible. Lebanon has no laws governing the keep of wild animals as pets and Little Leo is one of the lucky ones. Animals like lion and cheetah cubs are smuggled into Lebanon and sold as pets, but their lives are often short lived as incorrect diets and inappropriate housing often lead to their demise. Often those surviving end up living in terrible conditions in backyard cages or private zoos. Little Leo is estimated to be about 3 months old and is in relatively good health. Please consider adopting Little Leo to help meet his lifetime care costs.
