Solemnly, the abandoned serval sat. The grayness of it all sinking in.
The quarantine he sat in surrounded him like that of an asylum, the walls beckoning to be loved.
He wondered what he had done to deserve the cold.
But he knew some questions didn't have to be answered
The quarantine he sat in surrounded him like that of an asylum, the walls beckoning to be loved.
He did not love them for he chose not to love the pain.
He wondered what he had done to deserve the cold.
The cold was so dark and unfriendly. Only hate could come from it.
He did not love the walls for he chose not to love the pain.
He was content with his path of his life but not with the attractions. So bland and red they were. Like old an merry go round with holes in the heart of the horses.
The cold was so dark and unfriendly. Only hate could come from it.
The way that his heart was struck with such icy daggers, it made him wonder about sanity. And his mother. And how she would warm it.
On Sunday, April 26, 2009, Carolina Tiger Rescue (then CPT) received a call from a woman stating that her friend had a pet serval she could no longer care for, and that the animal needed to be placed quickly. Staff informed her that she would need to contact the Curator of Animals, Kathryn Bertok, to make rescue arrangements.The following morning, Kathryn discovered a full grown serval in an animal crate that someone had left at the entrance to the staff parking lot. A typed note attached to the crate gave the serval's name, Elvis, and a few details about his history, but no contact information. He is one of the many servals at Carolina Tiger Rescue and needs help. To donate and adopt Elvis click here.
We are the Richmond Veldt, a team of middle and elementary school writers with a mission to support the Elephant Sanctuary of Tennessee and the Carolina Tiger Rescue. We hope that we can persuade you to donate to protect these beautiful animals. Our team is made up of three writers and our writing is made of of a whole variety of different styles. Links to the charities we support will be on the front page! Thanks for your support and interest in our site!

Star: A Pantoum
Her green eyes a rainforest
Her fur the silvery moon
Soft as a curtain of mist
She glides like ink from a pen
Her fur the silvery moon
Like the cage in which she was kept
She glides like ink from a pen
Waiting for a home
Like the cage in which she was kept
The rusty bars echoing
Waiting for a home
For a grassy plain
The rusty bars echoing
The loud truck rolls her on
To that grassy plain
She has finally arrived.
Star is a cougar from the Carolina Tiger Rescue. She was rescued in January 2012 from the Collins Zoo by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).

WHY PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE BIG CAT PETS
People are often not able to manage these wild animals once
they’re fully-grown. Consequently, the animals are poorly fed, and left to
spend their entire lives in cages with barely enough room to move. Not
only is this inhumane, it also is a great threat to public safety.
This tiger among many
others has been enclosed in a small lonely cage.
