Happy anniversary, Lenci 🦁 | FOUR PAWS | www.four-paws.org

🦁 A ROCKY YEAR OF PROGRESS 🦁
Some say lion Lenci survived hell. For years he was caged in Safari Park Zoo Fier in Albania, known as “Europe’s Worst Zoo”, where he suffered tremendously. After he was pictured with a severe eye infection, giving him a ‘black eye’, Lenci became famous, and the public attention helped FOUR PAWS International set up a rescue mission for him and other wild animals from the zoo. Our veterinarians were able to save Lenci’s eye, but a nerve in his face was permanently damaged and left his face asymmetric.
Lenci and the two other rescued lions, Bobby and Zhaku, desperately needed medical and specialized care, which FELIDA Big Cat Centre was able to provide. 💉
For Lenci, the poor conditions in Albania had not only caused an eye infection, but also back problems so serious, they led to a herniated disc shortly after his arrival at FELIDA. Thanks to weeks of intensive care Lenci recovered. In addition to that, he had to be treated for two infected canines and a painful cyst in his jaw and nasal cavity, and a testicle which never descended from his abdominal cavity was removed.
The long years in horrible circumstances left deep marks on Lenci, but thanks to intensive and specialised care he made a lot of improvements and he finally gets to enjoy life. 🍀
Today we celebrate welcoming him at FELIDA, which was exactly one year ago, on 9 May 2019! The team at FELIDA describes Lenci as a friendly, funny and active lion that loves to play with all kinds of enrichment and shows the world every morning with his impressive roar what a majestic animal he still is!
Happy anniversary Lenci, we hope to enjoy your beautiful company for many more years to come ❤

His current place is a little too small though?

Please change the enclosure. I wont be able to help more if he stays in that kind of enclusore personally. This looks like a zoo. This is way too small and not even OK for a cat.
