Dear
Friends:
Welcome
to the first newsletter of S.urvival O.utreach S.anctuary, for
Wildlife. A dream come true for me which has been made possible
through the love and support of so many people. I would be remiss
in not thanking each and everyone personally for their hard work
in so many areas.
Firstly,
a great big THANK YOU to my Mother and my Sister, Ligia and Sylvia
Fernandez. Without their support this would not have been possible.
Their love and support throughout life's trials and tribulations
are unmeasurable and will never be forgotten.
The
property was purchased in June and the move began, a move I will
never forget! To move a double wide mobile and build five enclosures
immediately is no small task. A special thanks to Barb Collins
for lending us her RV to stay in while the move took place. Living
in a 23ft.

motor
home for over a month with Jon McKinney, five house cats, a dog and
a parrot is an experience I will always remember.
The
cage building began at dawn and ended at night, and continued seven
days a week for approximately three months. Thanks to all the help,
Jayla a cougar has a spacious 3,000 square foot enclosure, 14' 4"
tall that goes up and around trees for her to be able to climb and
run at will. Rudy, an African serval has a 1,500 square ft. enclosure
with trees to climb. Bosco, a white-faced brown lemur has a wonderful
enclosure with trees and, of course, an additional attachment to
the house so he may continue to come in at night. Our nutria's enclosure
is outfitted with two ponds for swimming and many hiding places.
Pig Lee, my pot bellied pig has a spacious area with her own personal
house. Her door is always open in the daytime so she may wander
freely.
