Kinkajou With Possibly Cancerous Mass
ESTELLA
This adorable little lady is Estella, a senior kinkajou who was found wandering a resident's front yard in the Southern California desert.
The kinkajou is a tropical rainforest mammal native to Central and South America. Kinkajous are nocturnal tree-dwelling animals most closely related to raccoons. These critters are actually illegal to own as pets in California because they are considered wild animals and are not native to the state.
Poor Estella is an elderly kinkajou who was admitted into our sanctuary with a large mass on her face. Doctors are unsure whether the mass is cancerous or an infection and are closely monitoring Estella to determine an accurate diagnosis.
While a properly cared for and socialized kinkajou can be very affectionate, kinkajous also startle easily and can become aggressive without warning. Estella is a very friendly kinkajou who will be returning to the vet tomorrow for another examination.
We are doing everything in our power to help poor Estella but we operate solely on donations and don't have enough funds for her $2,000 medical treatment. We're relying on our generous supporters to help save this precious pup.
Please consider helping sweet little Estella by donating to her medical fund or sending a get-well gift from her wishlist, such as food, treats, and supplements. Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and all donations are fully tax-deductible.
