Thanks for watching!

I met Joyce and Abigail when they were just weeks old. There were five siblings total and all were were born dead from emergency cesarean section. Staff from Cheetah Experience (CE) and their top notch vet revived all five of them. They are all alive today but have some medical issues due to missing moms colostrum and milk. So they have weakened immune systems because of it.

CE does not own Joyce and Abigail but want to. They have setup a Global Giving fund for that purpose. If you can afford to donate to help secure their future at CE, staff and myself would be most thankful. The plan is to have the two sisters part of the breeding program at CE and help save this species. Here is the link to the fund raiser.
Summary
Joyce and Abigail were born by means of an emergency cesarian in 2016. They were part of a breeding loan. Our main focus is the conservation of the cheetah. They were actually born dead and after hours of struggle, Dr Sandra Bertram got them to breath. It was a constant struggle with their health. They did not get any colostrum from the mum and therefore had no immune systems. They were looked after 24/7 every day for more than 3 months. We feel it is best for them to stay at our project.

As for me, I enjoyed their company, even though they disliked me at 1st. Yearling cheetahs are my favorite... so curious and playful and into everything. Life is great for them. It took me about three days before I won them over, then they melted over me; treating me like I was their surrogate mother. I gladly fulfilled that role during my internship there; spending days and nights with them. I hope to see them again this year to record their progress.

Here are the details written by CE about Joyce and Abigail's fund raiser....

Summary

Challenge
Cheetah Experience is a breeding project, where we use DNA profiles and our International Studbook to make ethical and responsible decisions. In order to maintain genetic diversity, it is necessary to do breeding loans with ethical projects to bring in different blood lines and strengthen the gene pool. Every cheetah counts. We only have 350 cheetahs in protected reserves in South Africa. To sustain that and improve the gene pool we need to put captive bred cheetahs back into the wild.1

Solution
If we can secure the future of Joyce and Abigail with us, they will be able to breed in another two years, and we can use some of their cubs to put in protected reserves and ensure that the cheetah numbers will increase. The cheetah has been driven out of 91 percent of its historic range. They once roamed nearly all of Africa and much of Asia. In Asia fewer than 50 individuals are remaining in one isolated pocket. Please help us to contribute to the cheetahs in protected areas.

LongTerm Impact
If we cannot get the cheetah numbers up in the protected reserves by releasing more non related cheetahs the number will decline, more inbreeding will happen and eventually the cheetah gene pool will become weaker and the possibility is that we can loose them all in nature. Everybody wants to have these majestic endangered animals in the wild, and so we do this by breeding cheetahs with different genes to ensure the long term goal of saving the cheetahs in the wild.
