My Adopted Son

This is Caesar, a tiger of undetermined origin. He came to EFBC when he was four months old, confiscated by Fish & Game after law enforcement offficials found him in the bathroom of a Burbank apartment during a drug bust. The tranquilizer used on Caesar during the bust was not the right kind to use on a tiger. Plus his diet had consisted at least partially of clay kitty litter, so Caesar was one sick boy when he arrived at EFBC.

It was touch and go for a few days, but now he's a full grown tiger, dwarfing our Bengal female, Jasmine. His lighter coloring and large size indicates that Caesar is at least part, if not all, Siberiantiger. His good temper and mischievious nature are simply part of his personality.
