Adopt Manolo and Evita

Ocelots

$50.00 Donation

Name for Adoption Certificate
Manolo (1)

Manolo is our male ocelot who lives alongside his companion Evita. The two came to us in June of 2025 and have adjusted well to life at Panther Ridge. While Manolo is a big fan of relaxation and is often found lounging around his den box and treehouse, he also loves to give into his natural stealth to chase after lizards and sneak up on his keepers. When he isn’t scaling the high beams of his enclosure, Manolo is often chatting to Evita and keeping an eye out for a keeper in hopes of extra snacks!

Evita (2)

Evita, like her companion Manolo, is a balancing artist when it comes to navigating her enclosure in search of the perfect nap spot. However, she has a more refined taste and is pickier with what snacks she accepts and when she wants to interact, but that's okay we are happy to give her her space when she wants some “me time”. One of Evita’s favorite activities is exploring the new scent enrichment she receives in her enclosure every day, bonus if it comes on a new cardboard box!
