Purrfect Reunion!
Sanctuary Asia
|May 2018
It was dawn at Somatwadi village, a few kilometres from Pune, and the farmers were waking up to another long day of harvesting their sugarcane crops.

Somewhere in the fields, a mother leopard was just venturing out to hunt, her tiny cubs still asleep. With very little forest left in the area, mother leopards find the dense sugarcane fields the only available shelter for their cubs.
HOME ALONE
As soon as they were awake, the tiny cubs began mewling for their mother. The farmers in the field followed the sad cries, and found two cubs huddled together, barely able to open their eyes. Leopard mothers are very protective of their babies, and the farmers were worried that the mother would be upset if they moved her cubs out of the fields. Still, they couldn’t leave the cubs there, as it was February, the harvest season, and farmers would be constantly in the field for cutting sugarcane and could stumble upon the mother leopard. Scared, the villagers called the Forest Department and the team at Wildlife SOS to help them.
