Bubba
Bubba arrived April 2002, at about age 11, is an (Felis Concolor) American Cougar.Yogie and Friends was his seventh and final home. Bubba’s home prior to us was actually one of people who loved him, but could not afford to keep him. They chose to take him in order to prevent him from being euthanized, and then contacted another sanctuary before bringing him to us. Bubba had to have root canals and he was overweight from years of improper care and nutrition. He was a beauty and you could hear him purr.

Sadly we must report that we had to euthanize Bubba, the cougar, this morning. It is a very hard day for us all at Yogie and Friends. Our hearts are breaking.

Update on PoohBear 2/15/2008: KTBS 3 News: Dying Tiger Receives Plenty of TLC
Note from the Webmaster on 3/15/2008 – I learned at the bake sale today that Pooh Bear snores. Did you know that Tigers snore?!? (I didn’t!)
Update on Pooh Bear 3/27/08: We have sad news to report. Our beloved Siberian tiger, Pooh Bear, died on March 27th. Pooh had a urinary tract infection that did not respond to antibiotics. His advanced age was determined to be a factor. We are all very sad and will miss him dearly. We want to thank everyone who has sent their condolences and know they are appreciated.
