Valo’s Story
Valo was found as a tiny cub in a nearby community, alongside his sibling that had sadly passed away. With no signs of their mother, the authorities in San Ignacio de Velasco rescued the surviving cub and transported him to the Santa Cruz Governorate, where he stayed for 4 weeks for assessment and initial care. He was much too young to survive without his mother, and will unfortunately have to depend on humans for his entire life.
He came to Ambue Ari Sanctuary on July 4, 2023, where he will be rehabilitated and permanently live in an enclosure specially designed for him to enjoy his natural habitat: the jungle. Currently, he is under the care of our veterinary team and our specialized feline caregivers.
Valo needs different types of meat and special milk, vitamins and supplements to ensure that he grows up healthy and strong, especially since he’s not receiving his mother’s milk. Despite his difficult start, every day he explores the jungle and enjoys his enrichments with a lot of energy.
