Before the factss the police arrested the owner of the wild cat, well in Ohio it is illegal to own animals that weigh more than 40 pounds in weight; It was then at that moment that the animal escaped and climbed the tree where it was later found and put in shelter.
The refuge that rescued Amiry was not equipped to house wildlife, so he sent him to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, where he is being treated for a wound on one of his legs.
It was there that they took a drug test where they discovered that he had cocaine in his system.. It is not the first time that the Cincinnati Zoo is home to an animal that tests positive for a narcotic, because in 2022, they rescued a capuchin monkey named Neo, who had methamphetamine in his body.
Amiry (the wild cat) is doing very well there, and it is hoped that the zoo can become a member of the Cat Ambassador Program, whose primary goal is to educate visitors on the importance of feral cat predators and raise money for cheetah conservation.
