Chuffer, our first tiger,
was born right here in Central Florida on September 27, 1996.
He was a ten-year-old male Royal Bengal Tiger that lived a happy life
with us for all but the first three months of his life. He was well
known and well loved, and when he passed away in January 2007, he
left a legacy of love that few can rival. We all miss him terribly,
but we will always be grateful for the time we got to spend with him.
Janda
was his mate and joined us on June 23, 2002. She is now our seven-year-old
female Bengal tiger, and she was born on June 1, 2002. She
was recently joined by Saber, our young white Bengal
tiger. He was born November 24, 2007 and came to live with
us on December 10, 2007. He and Janda share the same enclosure now,
and eventually they may have a family of their own.
Chuffer & Co. was founded to help educate the public
about the plight of tigers worldwide. We accomplish this goal through
education programs for children, Endangered Species presentations,
and making Janda and Saber available for public viewing
on a regular basis. We also encourage people to support the worldwide
organizations, such as World Wildlife Fund, that earnestly
seek to protect and provide for the animals that are in the greatest
peril of extinction.
If you are coming to the Central Florida area and you would like
to meet Janda and Saber or if you would like to make
a donation to help us in our efforts, please email us at chuffer927@aol.com
for more information. A donation of any amount would be appreciated,
as we receive no monetary help from any outside source. Funds are
continuously needed for food, vitamins, cleaning supplies, enrichment
items and constant cage enhancements to keep the tigers safe and
happy.
