It’s our magnificent old warrior’s very first Halloween celebration at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary. What must he think of all the new scents, textures, and tastes after years of deprivation in his tiny zoo cell in Armenia? He’s liked every treat put before him, including pumpkins and he loved getting these first Halloween pumpkins this weekend. Thank you to everyone who has been sponsoring pumpkins for Ruben and our other rescued big cats – you’ve also helped contribute to their care.

Want to see more pictures of Ruben and the other lions and tigers with pumpkins? Please keep supporting our special Halloween appeal to keep the fun going each week until Christmas.

• Pumpkin Sponsor $7.50 – 50% covers the cost of the pumpkin and 50% goes towards the lion or tiger’s care.
• ‘Golden’ Pumpkin Sponsor $64 – provides one pumpkin and one full day of care for the resident.
• ‘One-For-All’ Pumpkin Sponsor – a pumpkin and care contribution for every lion and tiger at ADIWS
