The enclosures (big cages) are so clean, open and freshly mowed. They have no place to hide from all the people staring and baby talking at them.
So beautiful. It is wonderful that the three boys are safe in a great home.
Welcome home sweetheart!!!!! We've been waiting for you! Thanks Brittany for a great Walkabout!!!
I'm so, so happy this has finally come to pass. These precious boys will have a wonderful, beautiful life at BCR. Circuses are terrible places for animals, and now these 3 boys will never know cruelty again xxx
Thank you for filming every minute of the cats’ arrivals. I cannot attend and don’t use FB. I really like to see the excitement.
Whoever might have declawed Simba should lose their hands. Makes me sick to my stomach.
Welcome to your forever home and sanctuary beautiful boys. No one will every hurt or exploit you ever again.
these were the tigers who rescued the Guatemalan authorities in a circus and sent them to the United States

Did ADI name these tigers or did they already have names when they were rescued?
Thank you
Hope all is well with the new fur babies. So happy they are now here at their forever home. ????????
You can imagine all the other animals they are smelling! No wonder Max was leery of coming out.
They’re gorgeous! One went to vacation, I can tell that. Are the other two of them occupying what used to be Keisha’s and Hoover’s enclosures?
Love ? that you talk to them and offer them compliments, direction, ideas, and things they can look forward to. You can see them responding or thinking about it for future reference. Very special people and animals.
??Victory! ??

Kimba looks like was in a smalĺ cage. He seems to walk in circles.
He's as methodical as Sherlock Holmes sniffing all around the enclosure! Lucky boy! Enjoy vacation!
?Welcome Home Simba, Kimba and Max.???
Kimba seems to have a good bit of anxiety! he is the youngest right? I can relate with the anxiety… don't like being around to many people and they can make you really nervous. From his story, I can't really blame him for that! especially being in a new place. might help Kimba if one or 2 people were the only ones to feed/interact with him for a while until he can calm down and get used to everything…. that or meds for anxiety might help him.
Max I think is just more secure staying in the crate than getting out of it. From what I've read, they all had to endure small enclosures to live in. Which is why I bet Max feels safer in the crate.
as for Simba, lol he is a curious one. he is going to fit in well at BCR! probably be very vocal too.
I sure hope Simba, Max and Kimba get a turkey for Thanksgiving!
Will the 3 be fed today or just in the am?
Welcome home, beautiful tigers. I know things have been tough in your lives, but you're safe now. I now it will take time to get adjusted, but you have your friends with you. You're in good hands. Be well, brave tigers.?????
Thankyou. I had tears of joy for these cats as others did too. So wonderful .what a true blessing this Thanksgiving week;. thanks Bcr?
I'm wondering if Max is ill from the effects of travel, not uncommon when shipping animals despite careful planning and the best care.
