Don't know. I'm pretty sure the zoo says Little Mac's conditions means she has to stay until/unless she dies and can't be transferred to any sanctuary or zoo.

As is common with the Santa Barbara Zoo, the new lions received new names from a donor. "Ralph" was born at the Indianapolis Zoo and his original name is either Enzi or Mashaka. "Felicia" was born at the Riverbanks Zoo and her original name is Amara, Asha or Zari. Hopefully someone from their original zoos will be able to identify who is now in Santa Barbara.
Male Amur Leopard Arrives The Santa Barbara Zoo is welcoming a new male Amur leopard named Kasha. He is nine and a half years old and arrived to the zoo in March just before the closure. Kasha is now being introduced to the zoo's female leopard and his potential mate, Ajax. The two leopards have a breeding recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Kasha came from the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago where he sired three litters. He was born in Le Parc des Felins in Nesles, France. Ajax is 6 years old and arrived to the Santa Barbara Zoo in 2016 from Marwell Zoo in Hampshire, England. The Santa Barbara Zoo says Ajax has genetics that are unrepresented in the United States and will play an important role in diversifying the gene pool of Amur leopards in North America. Ajax's former mate, Wyatt, was transferred to Fort Wayne Children's Zoo in Indiana after efforts to breed the pair were unsuccessful. Full article: Santa Barbara Zoo welcomes new leopard
