Happy Holidays!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you Happy Holidays! I realize during these difficult economic times it's hard to give to charities, but I want to thank you for keeping the animals of IEAS in your thoughts and on your Christmas list. As you know, IEAS would not be able to exist without you. Your generosity helps give these animals the second chance that they deserve. Without caring individuals such as yourselves, none of these "happily ever afters" would be possible. Wandering what to give that special someone for Christmas--Adopt an Animal in their name as it would be a wonderful gift for that special person and help that special animal. Contact IEAS for more information on the Christmas Adoptions!

I hope you all have a safe and happy Holiday Season! Thank you for caring!

Thank you,

Richard Gilbreth

DECEMBER BIRTHDAYS

Big John

Male Bengal Tiger
Born December 25, 1992

Big John will be 17 years old this month! Big John lives with his female Bengal tiger friend, Isabella. Big John, Isabella, and another tiger, Barnum, all arrived from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Brownsville, TX. They were all seized from a Spanish Circus. All three tigers are now enjoying life here at IEAS. While Barnum does not live with Big John and Isabella, he lives right next door in a habitat adjacent to theirs. You can come and see Big John on your tour at IEAS.

Cookie

Female Bobcat
Born December 31, 1995

Cookie will be 14 years old this month. Cookie lives with her friend, Baby, another female bobcat. This year, the IEAS staff planted some different bushes in many of the bobcat habitats. Cookie loves to lie under her bushes in the morning and just watch everything that is going on around her. When the weather starts to get colder, she will usually be snuggled up with Baby in their igloo. Click here to see more pictures and videos of Cookie.
