Wonderful news, Max returned to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary from hospital late yesterday afternoon and this morning was reunited with his brother Stripes.

Max was kept in the feeding camp and night house overnight to give him a chance to reorientate and monitor reactions between the brothers. Stripes watched the unloading and greeted Max through the gate with much chuffing and settled down right outside. This morning Stripes was brought into the feeding camp and the boys greeted each other with rubs and chuffs.

They were then released and headed out into their Kakato by April Fong Habitat, with Max in the lead and Stripes following, straight into their den under the platform. The boys explored the entire habitat, and excitedly chased up to Lupe next door. They have been their usual selves all day, although you can see Max had lost some weight during his illness.

Dr Peter Caldwell gave Max a thorough examination with x-rays, ultrasounds, and blood tests. The good news is that his heart is fine, and there are no signs of cancer. Max has some signs of tonsillitis, and he appears to have had a feline allergic bronchitis or feline asthma. Some results are still awaited. Thank you for all your well wishes and love for Max during this very worrying time. WE WILL HAVE A VIDEO OF THE BROTHERS’ REUNION IN THE COMING DAYS. WATCH THIS SPACE.
