Cleopatra the Fox

Cleopatra

Cleopatra is a Ruppell's Fox and came to us from Kuwait.

She had the misfortune of being set on by a pack of dogs in her native country.

The dogs' owner got the young vixen to a vet where they tried to save her injured leg.

Unfortunately it couldn't be saved and needed to be amputated.

Cleopatra would not be able to live safely in the wild, and was released to a local animal sheltering organization, K'sPath.They contacted Merritt Clifton of ANIMAL PEOPLE in NY who suggested they contact Popcorn Park.


It wasn't long before the handicapped fox arrived at Newark International Airport on June 3, 2013, greeted by Popcorn Park staff.
Cleopatra has settled in nicely and adjusted to her new life.
Could you give this lovely young lady a big American welcome and sponsor her?

The Popcorn Park Wildlife Club is a special sponsorship program designed to help support the residents of the refuge. Through a monthly donation you will help provide all that is needed for that particular animal's well-being, and in return, you will receive regular updates from your sponsored animal!

Popcorn Park was established in 1977 for the sole purpose of providing a refuge for wildlife that were sick, elderly, abandoned , abused, or injured, and which could no longer survive in its natural habitat. As time went on, we expanded to include exotic and domestic animals. All our residents once faced these circumstances, as well as exploitation and illegal ownership. Over 200 of these animals and birds now live in spacious surroundings in the heart of the scenic Pine Barrens in southern New Jersey. The Refuge, which is federally licensed, comprises seven acres and is graced by the indigenous Scrub Oak and Scrub Pine. You may be greeted at the gate by a gaggle of geese, but soon you will see a marvelous array of animals including a lion and lionesses. tigers, mountain lions, baboons, a serval cat, and more. Many different types of monkeys clamor for your attention in the monkey house, and the Refuge abounds with all kinds of native wildlife such as white-tailed deer, bobcats, and American black bears. Farm animals such as horses, steer. sheep, pigs, llamas and goats often look for a handout, and reptiles and tortoises enjoy their own special house. In addition, you'll find numerous species of birds have made themselves comfortable throughout the park. But what makes Popcorn Park so special is that each animal was rescued from suffering, exploitation and/or death - each has its own unique story to tell. You will learn these stories as you walk through the Refuge and as you visit this section of our web site. You have entered a quiet world where all the residents were once in danger and now are safe. So start your journey - bring your curiosity and respect for these beautiful creatures.
