The tigers were part of the cub petting industry, but when they grew too large and too old, they were relegated to tiny cages, receiving minimum care.
A desperate call early last month ended with a swiftly organized rescue effort across four states that saved the lives of four big cats and brought two tigers to the Oakland Zoo.

OAKLAND, CA – JULY 7: A tiger named Mia is given target training by a hospital keeper at the Oakland Zoo on Thursday, July 7, 2022, in Oakland, Calif. The Oakland Zoo organized the rescue of four tigers from a facility in Oklahoma and is currently caring for two of the tigers at their hospital.
Work has begun on sprucing up the enclosure, Kinzley says, adding additional platforms and areas for Lola and Mia to explore. It’s not yet known whether the pair can enjoy the space together or whether they’ll need to be separated by a fence. Despite their years in the defunct petting zoo, they never had any direct contact with each other.
Although the tigers were neglected, they’re doing very well, Adams says. When Lola first entered her enclosure, she didn’t know what to make of the straw piled and scattered on the concrete floor. She tapped at it with her paws, warily, but within a few minutes she was rolling in it and roaring her approval.
“They came from a terrible situation, living in squalor, no veterinary care, no treatments,” Herman says. “Animals can have a lot of physical and behavioral problems, but they’re doing really well.”
