Lion Was So Sick She Almost Died — But Then She Found Love

But In-Sync was going to give her a chance. Keahey hand fed Sheila for two weeks and did some research. Keahey discovered that Sheila had a parasite that affected her immune symptoms. The condition, toxoplasmosis, often causes lethargy and a loss of appetite. Once on her treatment plan, Sheila bounced back!

In-Sync shared the news on a Facebook post and said that Sheila had regained her muscle control and was running and hopping like a bunny! Isn’t she gorgeous?! A true beauty – and a typical cat – loves to play with toys!

In-Sync had a new lion enclosure and moved Kahn in.

Sheila was introduced to him a little later.

It was love at first sight! Sheila would show off for Kahn – but they were still in separate enclosures. The staff decided to let the two lions have a face to face meeting.

They arranged for short play dates at first.
