Bella was a young female cheetah who had come to CCF very traumatized. She was initially in her own pen and was very skittish and fearful. While we were at CCF, we (Kim, Janice, Rachel, Goran - all volunteers) helped move Bella to a new, larger pen with a roommate: Padme. Padme was an older female and it was hoped that Bella would do better with a friend and mentor. To move her, Bella was placed in a wooden box and transported in the bakkie. She did not seem to initially like her new surroundings, but settled down, as Padme worked hard to make friends with her. In the second photo, Bella is the smaller cheetah, and Padme is cozying up to her.
