Happy National Cougar Day from our cats!

Did you know that Mountain Lions are actually classified as Cougars? This animal has the highest number of common names of any mammal in the world: ghost cat, puma, mountain lion, cougar, catamount, and painter are just a few!

Their large variety in names stems from their vast range as they can be found from Canada to Chile. 🐈🗺️

Come see our Cougars Salton and Freyja to learn more about these cats!
