Tiger story with a happy ending

BLOOMSDALE, Mo. (AP) - July 2, 2009

Sheena, a malnourished female tiger that was found at an apparent puppy mill in Seneca, Mo., in February has become a star at a sanctuary where she is now living.

The cat had trouble with her eyes and posture and was afraid of going outdoors when she was first brought to the National Tiger Sanctuary near Bloomsdale, Mo.

But Judy McGee, co-founder of the sanctuary, says she's doing much better now and has adjusted to living near other tigers for the first time in her nine years of life.
