One of the three puma cubs from the Saransk City Zoo was sold to the same Saransk, but contact zoo.
And they almost killed him: the baby, deprived of proper care, in his 8 months looked three, was weak and painful.
A young husband and wife Maria and Alexander decided to take the baby.
The administration seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as they were sure that the puma would not survive.
And in the meantime, the young couple found out everything about Messi’s diagnosis (that was the name of the puma) and remade part of their apartment for her needs: the doorposts were turned into scratching posts, a place was arranged for games, food, and drink.
After showing the cub to the veterinarians, Messi began a long treatment and nursing, for which she had to buy a lot of dietary supplements, vitamins, and medicines.
But in addition to treatment, the cat also needed outdoor walks.
The wife’s load was gradually increased in order to give the cat’s joints and muscles a chance to get stronger.
But when they crossed the line of three kilometers, an old injury made itself felt, a broken paw.
And the loads had to be reduced, and their types changed.
We contacted all the trainers and cynologists and found a place for training and a trainer, with whom the cat, by the way, quickly found a common language.
At first, the lessons were individual, and then group. Do you know with whom? With dogs.
And everyone got along great with each other!
Now Messi is 10 times larger than any cat and weighs 41 kilograms.
But at the same time, due to diseases and developmental delays, he grew to only 2/3 the size of a normal adult puma.
