Beneath the warm Mexican sun, the Invictus Foundation worked tirelessly to provide life-saving care to animals in desperate need. Among them were Simba and Hunter, two fragile lion cubs whose early lives were marked by severe malnutrition and neurological challenges, leaving their bodies weak and compromised. Nearby, Nala and Apollo, another pair of lion cubs, struggled with severe health issues that required specialized attention from the moment they were born.
Pakal, a resilient puma, bore the worst physical scars of this group, enduring catastrophic injuries to his pelvis, spine, and skull. Sheerkan and Corachi, two young tigers, carried visible reminders of their harrowing pasts. Sheerkan’s body told a story of unimaginable suffering, with a broken hip and fractures in all four legs. Balam and Bagheera, two striking jaguars, were left weakened by malnutrition and plagued with severe dental issues. The smallest of the group, Luna and Rufla, two frail bobcats, faced chronic kidney damage caused by prolonged dehydration and starvation.
In the face of such immense need, the Invictus Foundation, steadfast in its mission to rescue and rehabilitate wildlife, turned to The Wild Animal Sanctuary (TWAS) in Colorado. As the world’s largest carnivore sanctuary with 33,000 acres dedicated for animal sanctuary, TWAS offers unparalleled intensive veterinary care and expansive, natural habitats where animals can finally heal and thrive.
In an extraordinary collaboration, FedEx joined the mission, making it possible for these 11 remarkable survivors to reach their new home safely. Under the banner of its "Delivering for Good" initiative, FedEx leveraged its global logistics expertise to transport the animals and their dedicated care team from Toluca, Mexico, to Denver, Colorado.
As the FedEx plane took off, carefully carrying the animals toward a future filled with hope and security, the team at the Invictus Foundation felt a wave of relief knowing that upon arrival these animals would be embraced by the remarkable animal care team at The Wild Animal Sanctuary. Thanks to this monumental partnership, Simba, Hunter, and their companions were embarking on a journey toward a life they had never known—one defined by compassion, care, and the freedom to simply be.
