Blondie Serval is one of four girls that came to us from British Columbia in November of 2019. Blondie has a big personality and is not afraid to make sure everyone knows it. She loves to sit on top of boxes, denboxes, and really anything that will elevate her above the others.

How Blondie Came to the Sanctuary
Blondie came to call Carolina Tiger Rescue home on November 26, 2019. She, along with 12 other servals, was rescued from a backyard breeder in British Columbia, Canada. The servals were kept in RVs with no ventilation, no natural light, and unsanitary conditions. The cats were confiscated by the SPCA of British Columbia and taken to a holding facility until they were able to be rehomed to accredited sanctuaries in the United States.
Personality
Blondie is a bossy serval. She rules the roost and makes sure everyone knows it. Blondie is curious and is quick to come to the fence to see if there is any food for her.
Description
Blondie's coat is more pale yellow than the other servals in the sanctuary. She has a thick pink strip down the middle of her otherwise black nose.
Where in Sanctuary
Blondie currently lives off tour on Mimosa Point.
Backyard Breeders
Blondie and the 12 other servals she was rescued with lived in rough conditions before finding their forever homes in accredited sanctuaries. The backyard breeder they were rescued from was selling their kittens for thousands of dollars and confining the adults in horrific and unsafe conditions. All of the servals were declawed at some point and some show healed fractures on X-rays that are likely a result of metabolic bone disease due to improper diets. The goal of the breeder is to make as much money as possible off of these cats by selling their kittens for as much as possible. Carolina Tiger Rescue asks that you remember these are wild animals that deserve the best life possible. They are predators, not pets, and deserve to be treated as such.
