    Natasha Tiger

    By ChrisMorrow  |  Posted May 5, 2012  |  Alpine, California
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     ChrisMorrow says captured this iReport at Lions, tigers and bears in Alpine, California. According to its website, the organization is a federally funded nonprofit. It offers a rescue facility that is dedicated to providing shelter for abused and unwanted exotic cats, like the tiger Natasha that is featured in the iReport. ChrisMorrow says she was surprised Natasha survived cancer. She stood close to Natasha's cage in order to capture this video. 'I could feel her breath when she spoke to me. She is an active cat and very interested in my camera. No doubt she would eat me if she could,' she says.
    - Jareen, CNN iReport producer

    Name: Natasha
    Age: 15 years
    Species: Bengal Tiger
     Location: Lions, Tigers and Bears

     


    Natasha was rescued from a small enclosure in Texas where her feet were declawed. Lions, Tigers and Bears took her in and now spends her days lounging in and on her den, splashing in her pool and playing with her toys. She is also very vocal when it comes to food.
