Meeka
Meeka was born on July 1st, 2016 and was hand raised at Panther Ridge alongside our resident jaguar, Mateo. Meeka and Mateo grew up together for a couple years until they needed to be separated due to sexual maturity. She is always playing and loves to bat around her toys playing soccer, and can always be sure to shred a cardboard box. Meeka’s favorite spot is on her high perch where she can nap and have a bird’s eye view of her neighbors. Her purrs are only heard by her most trusted caretakers that have dedicated the time to earn her trust. Meeka also greets her favorite people good morning by chirping loudly.


Kai
Kai is a young cougar that was born at another facility and came to us in 2023 to be a companion for Meeka, he lives in a conjoining enclosure with her to build their friendship while he waits to grow big enough to be introduced. Kai is known for being highly affectionate, his calls of excitement and loud purrs are hard to miss when he sees one of his keepers. This fun feline loves taking a dip in his pool and chasing around his toys. Just like Meeka, he adores the rain and can be found sprinting around his enclosure whenever we have a downpour. His energetic and adoring personality makes him a beloved addition to the family and eventually a perfect playmate for Meeka.
