Cougar - Craiger

Due to legal complications, Craiger lost his home as a very young kitten.  While it was being determined by authorities whether or not he could be released into the wild, he was maintained in a hands off environment.  Once it was determined he could not be released and would remain in captivity, he was past the age where he could quickly and easily bond with humans.  He is friendly and loving, though shy and somewhat dangerous with his claws.  With an experienced handler he can be quite loving. 

He has settled in here nicely though, and purrs when I scratch his neck and shoulders through the fence.  He did NOT appreciate the diet I put him on when he arrived though. (he had gotten rather fat.)
