Siberian-Bengal Tiger - 'Sean'

This is SEAN. He is a 9 year old white Siberian-Bengal tiger. He weighs about 580 pounds.

Sean started out on some pretty shakey ground. He was born with extremely poor eyesight, poor motor skills and sporadic seizures. He is given naturopathic medicine for his pain and a specially developed formula to help him absorb the nutrients that he needs. He spent one week at Davis Medical Center and through the testing he received there it was determined that these problems are birth defects and are attributed to an extremely small gene pool of white tigers. Very few studies have been done on the white tiger, and through programs like ours, we hope to learn more about disorders like Sean's and how to avoid, treat, and cure them.

We are currently looking for Foster Parents that can help us give Sean the very best in medical care and attention. He will require testing and special monitoring of his condition as well as extensive specialized veterinary care for the rest of his life. Because of his sight impairment, we would like to build a special habitat that will keep him safe and secure while allowing him to be the fun loving cat that he really wants to be. We do expect him to have a high quality of life as we provide all our cats with everything they need.
