I love this story- Leo the snowleopard was found orphaned in the snow after the earthquake in Pakistan last year by a shepard. The shepard took him in and hand fed him, saving his plushy little life.
Now Leo is a big kitten (60 pounds) and he's getting an all expenses paid trip to New York City to live at the Bronx Zoo. Pakistan is getting funds for a snow leopard conservation center in return.
My, what big feeties Leo has!
A happy, plushy ending for everyone involved.
Via the BBC, Leo the Snow Leopard is US Bound

KIITTTYYYY!!!
They better have good locks on the doors at the Bronx zoo. Watertiger is awful close....
I wonder if they have big feeties so they can walk on the snow.
Nice pawpads! Clearly a relative of Mr. Plushy's. You seem much better, 4LG, posting effusively and all. Thanks for the PlushPlethora.
Sekmet, that's exactly why they have big feeties.
That's why maine coons have big feeties too.
Built in snowshoes.
Ok, maybe in some instances I am NOT at the top of the food chain.
In the event that I ever find my self in one of those situations that beastie right there is the one that I want to feed.
What an absolutely beautiful animal, it HAS to be a demi-god at the very least.
What a gorgeous cat, and a great story.
OOHH, megaplush! It sure is a great story. Can you imagine that shepherd, in the aftermath of the earthquake, surrounded by chaos and starvation, being willing to care for this critter (who certainly he could have viewed as a threat to his flock). Does he know how much the world thanks him? -Although perhaps being able to hold a demi-god in your arms is its own reward. I agree with fartsinsleep, this animal is awe-inspiring.
