Our Residents

Ocelots

Delilah

Delilah arrived at Panther Ridge back in 2004 from California. Her original breeder had gotten into trouble for selling endangered species across state lines and all of the cats were sent to other facilities. Delilah was relocated to Panther Ridge with another ocelot, Macho Man. She and Macho became best friends and shared the same play area with their favorite tree. Macho has unfortunately passed away but Delilah doesn’t mind an independent lifestyle and is often seen relaxing in her enclosure by the lake. Delilah is currently the oldest resident at Panther Ridge but is still just as spunky and bold in her old age as she was when she first came to join the family.

Manolo

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

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!
