Jillian came to us with her sister Suri and brother Bakari at the age of 4 weeks. We were contacted by the only big cat sanctuary in Louisiana. Due to overcrowding in their facility they were unable to keep the cubs. Lions, Tigers,& Bears stepped in and accepted all three lion cubs.
Like her sister and brother, Jillian has started daily training which includes leash walking and verbal commands this will help LTB staff providing care when the cubs are too large to handle.
Jillian was named at our Wild in the Country event when the highest bidder Robert Cox named the cub, Jillian, after his wife El Cajon City Councilwoman, Jillian Hanson-Cox. The name means “youthful” and “bright light” which he says depicts the personality of the cub and his wife alike.
