Lion Was Sick To The Point Of Death, But Then She Found Love

Behind every great lion, there is an even magnificent lioness, and Kahn, a gorgeous male African lion with a striking mane and loud roar, is no exception.

He adores Sheila, his wife, and the two are finally enjoying the life they deserve after surviving traumatic relationships.

Texas’ In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue and Education Center rescued Kahn and Sheila from the same local institution, but months apart. Their previous owner rented out cubs for picture shoots and took the larger cats to events like birthday parties and weddings. “He puts them away and stops caring for them when they are no longer beneficial to him,” Vicky Keahey, creator of In-Sync, told The Dodo. “His license has subsequently been revoked.”

“When Kahn arrived, his tail was entirely bitten off, and he was really skinny,” Keahey explained. He bit his own tail off due to stress or boredom, according to rescuers. He also had bone problems, most likely as a result of starvation, which made it difficult for him to walk.

“But because he was so kind, it was simple to pamper him and make him feel at ease in his new surroundings. Sheila, on the other hand, was in desperate need of assistance… Sheila was on the verge of passing away “she stated

The 15-month-old lioness was so frail that she couldn’t coordinate her muscles properly. She couldn’t even lift her head to drink water since she couldn’t stand up on her own. Her head was also slanted to the side.

According to Sheila’s profile, the USDA advised In-Sync that she would most likely have to be killed owing to her bad health. She did nothing except puke and lie motionless on the ground for four days after arriving at the rescue, but In-Sync was determined not to lose her.

“I had to go in with Sheila and hand-feed her for two weeks,” Keahey explained. “I’d wrap up some meatballs and shove them down her mouth.”

Keahey then performed some research to attempt to figure out what was wrong with Sheila. The lioness, it turned out, had toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that affects the immune system and causes symptoms including lack of appetite and lethargy. Sheila was also deficient in vitamin A. For her, a therapy plan was put in place right away.

The lioness began to heal swiftly after being on the edge of death.

“They both recovered and blossomed into gorgeous adult lions as time went on,” Keahey said of her and Kahn. “Meanwhile, we had completed the construction of our new lion habitat. Kahn and Sheila would have to live next door to each other because of the way it was planned.”

Sheila was put into her new cage shortly after Kahn, and she immediately fell in love with her new neighbor.

“Sheila spent the next few months strutting her thing for Kahn, and Kahn spent the following few months strutting his stuff for her,” Keahey explained.
