Cleopatra’s journey to Popcorn Park is nothing short of extraordinary. This beautiful Rüppell’s fox traveled all the way from Kuwait after a tragic encounter with a pack of dogs left her badly injured. Despite a veterinarian's efforts to save her leg, it had to be amputated.

Unable to survive in the wild, Cleopatra found refuge with K’s Path, an animal sheltering organization. Merritt Clifton of Animal People in New York guided them to reach out to us, and on June 4th, 2013, Cleopatra arrived safely at Newark International Airport, welcomed with open arms by our team.

Rüppell’s foxes are incredibly adapted to desert life, with fur on their footpads that helps them move easily over sand and shields them from the heat. Their large ears act like natural air conditioners, keeping them cool under the blazing sun.

Today, Cleopatra thrives at Popcorn Park, where she’s safe, cherished, and enjoying her peaceful life. She is often out and about during the morning, sniffing the fresh air and basking in a warm patch of sunshine.

Please consider sponsoring Cleopatra and helping us continue to provide her with the love and care she deserves!
