The Genets — From Basements and Seizure
Five genets acquired in 2011 through AAP in the Netherlands. Andorra was seized by Dutch police in 2009, small, weak, with ear and eye infections.
Five genets were acquired in 2011 through AAP in the Netherlands. Andorra had been seized by Dutch police in 2009 — she was small, weak, and suffering from ear and eye infections.
Four others — Dubi, Zufar, Nayran, and Riyam — came from German basements where they had spent four years in basement conditions, malnourished and frightened.
AAP kept them together, and within eight months they reached sufficient health for transfer. They then spent a year in quarantine.
In 2013, they moved to their current facilities where they thrive, although visitors rarely see them as they are crepuscular and nocturnal.
