Resident Animals


		After her beloved Trace passed, Timbre insisted we move Eshelokee in with her! And what Timbre wants, she gets. These two have hit it off famously, and Lokee is a suitable spirited match for Miss Poofy.
		Nala was originally purchased by an Animal Trainer from an auction in Missouri. When this did not work out, she was taken in by another trainer who kept her safe and secure until a suitable sanctuary could be found. Note: we lost Manitou on May 2, 2010.
		Our Rose has thorns....born April 27, 2000) came to us in December of 2003 a dedicated "man" hater, but has been turned around!
		Our extremely shy & elusive ones.... Cheyenne (born April 28, 2001), Deuce (born April 1999), Cheyenne is amazingly affectionate to certain females and loves children; Deuce is totally elusive, and males generally have to hide for him to even accept food by hand.
		Little Brother and Alpine, both senior citizens, are now sharing their space together. We are hoping these two continue to develop a deeper friendship in time. Alpine lost her beloved Shamen in February of 2010. Although Shamen was first in line for food, it appears that Alpine had decided with Little Brother that it is now going to be Ladies First...new rules. We're hoping Little Brother will be a gentleman in this! So far, so good.
		Denali is a sibling of Shamen and Alpine. The two females ended up having to be separated and Nali likes her alone space! Women! Nali is a bit aloof, but affectionate with human females. She can, however, be a total assertive female with human males and we usually put them off-limits.


		Wa Layla, a casualty of the Florida hurricane season, is unsocialized as far as actually making physical contact, but she does like to come up and "nose" you when your back is turned.. She spent the first year and a half housed with Deuce and Cheyenne, but when this pretty miss reached her 'maturity', Cheyenne didn't want to share Deuce and kicked her out! Layla, born in April of 2004, happily now has enclosure mates and this timid miss is ruling the roost!.... Abatar and Hobbit are Layla's new play mates. Abatar and Layla have taken over the "alpha" positions. While still a bit standoffish with me, it appears Abatar and Hobbit have a thing for 'younger' women, and have become quite outgoing with our college interns. (Note: we renamed Joker "Abatar" at his request)
		Hok'ee is the newest addition. We drove down to Georgia to pick this guy up from an Animal Control Department....an illegal state. Not much is known about the unsocial young boy. Takota is staying with us temporarily (until Dad finishes the new house!) but is enjoying bossing Hok'ee around tremendously. You go girl.
