The Cat Ambassador Program began with a cheetah named Angel. If you know Cathryn Hilker, you have heard her tell stories of the many adventures that she and Angel had together. To honor Angel and help wild and captive cheetahs, Cathryn created The Angel Fund, our non-profit organization.
Recently, Cathryn and program supporter Kris Kalnow, commissioned a statue of Angel and her good friend, a cougar named Carrie.
Cathryn unveils the Angel statue.
Cathryn Hilker, local sculptor Tom Tsuchiya and Kris Kalnow, all pose with Angel (cheetah) and Carrie (cougar).
Angel and Carrie can be found outside the Cheetah Encounter running yard if you want to pay them a visit!
