Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has rescued a cheetah that had been raised by a woman in Kursi Village, Garissa County.
According to KWS, the move was after she found it stranded and decided to take care of it as her own.
In a statement on Thursday, October 23, KWS said the woman rescued and took care of the animal by feeding, bathing and treating it as a pet cat for two years.
“In Kursi Village, Garissa County, a compassionate woman once rescued a stranded cheetah cub and lovingly raised it as her own for nearly two years – feeding, bathing, and even leashing it like a pet cat,” part of the statement read.
They further appreciated the Good Samaritan’s compassion and remind all Kenyans that true coexistence means protecting wildlife where they belong.
