Description

Asian leopard cat ( Prionailurus bengalensis )

His story : This leopard cat was born in a French zoo. The zoo sold him to a private owner. Why did this person want a leopard cat ? There are 2 possibilities : simply to have an exotic pet, or to breed hybrids. The bengal breed was originally created by breeding asian leopard cats with house cats. But in France this practice is forbidden and you need a licence to own a wild cat or a F1 hybrid ( even for F2 and F3 hybrids ). This cat's owner realized his animal's place wasn't in a house and he gave him to the Refuge, which take care of him since.

Refuge de l'Arche ( France )

The Refuge de l'Arche is not a zoo, it's a rescue facility for wild animals : exotic animals and local fauna. It's paired with a rescue center which take care of local wild animals ( orphans, injured ones... ) : if they heal, they're realeased in the wild, if they can't be released, they're transferred to the Refuge.
