Tom Quinn, a fine resident at EARS was rescued when he was 13 months old. Like Karen, Tom was malnourished, and on the brink of death, when he was brought to EARS. With continuous, loving care, Tom survived. He is now a healthy, thriving Siberian Tiger, who remains at the facility and is a very close member of our family. Tom loves playing in the creek that is located inside the turn-out. When he's not in the creek or just laying around, Tom is often seen tossing his ball.

Like the other big cats at our facility, Tom now enjoys swimming in Paw Creek. He is now fully recovered and ~ as can be seen in his gentleness with his tiger friend, Judy ~ very content!

Tom Quinn, as a tiger cub, seen here before being rescued by EARS; and, below right as a healthy, happy tiger. Tom suffered from starvation and neglect, inflicted by his former owner. Tom Quinn was hairless because of the ringworm, that had been left untreated and allowed to cover his entire body. Note his grossly undersized condition and bone protrusion from starvation.
