    Indeed! Peter had only recently passed away when I visited but, at the time, they had African, Persian, Snow and black leopard; Clouded leopard and Lynx. His wife (Jackie?) was coping as best she could but I believe she was also managing the stud book for Clouded leopard. The site didn’t last much longer, and credit should go to the Sampson family for helping out for as long as they did.

    Someone has been down today and there’s at least 7 cats on site, 4 puma in this photo and 3 cats next door. Not sure if they’re also puma.

    Couldn't really tell what the other cats are, how on earth was animals allowed to be kept like this. Wonder who's looking after them

    Not defending them but this enclosure originally just housed the pair. I think they’ve just left the cubs with them rather than moving them on and now they’re much more overcrowded than they were originally.

    If the exhibits with other cats were next to Puma. Those enclosures held Jaguar and Amur Leopard previously.
