Felix & Zia

Felix and Zia are orphaned siblings found in the Santa Monica Mountains near Simi Valley. California Fish and Game determined their mother had passed away due to rodenticide poisoning. An attempt was made to integrate them into another mountain lion family, but the resident mother wouldn’t take on two more cubs. 

Now grown, Felix and Zia have settled into life at Southwest Wildlife.

Raising mountain lions is a significant undertaking, and we now care for seven of them at the Sanctuary. Thanks to your support, Felix and Zia continue to thrive in their lifelong home, together. 

Your gift, made in appreciation of Felix and Zia, helps sustain the daily operations of Southwest Wildlife.
