Sad news from Spaycific’Zoo 🌈💔
Today, Spaycific’Zoo in France announced on its social media the sudden deaths of two of its Pallas's cat: the sisters Rosalie and Buchta 😢
The zoo reported that over the past few days, both girls had refused to eat, causing great concern among the zoo staff. Despite veterinary examinations, sadly, they could not be saved. The exact cause of death is still unknown; the zoo is awaiting laboratory test results, which should help determine the cause of death.
Such a sudden, simultaneous loss of two manuls came as a real shock to the entire zoo team, especially the zookeepers who cared for Buchta and Rosalie every day.
These grumpy and fluffy girls held a special place in the life of the zoo and in the hearts of many people. Everyone will miss them very much. 💔

We extend our heartfelt condolences to all the zoo staff, especially those who cared for and loved Rosalie and Buchta, and we thank the zoo for its openness and honesty during such a difficult time. We grieve alongside you and all manulovers around the world 😞

Girls, run across the rainbow. Side by side. Never stop.
Happy hunting in the high tundra!
And thank you to the zoo for its honesty and openness.
Oh no that's so upsetting! Poor sweet girls! I feel so badly for their keepers too. I'm crushed! 💔💔💔
😭😭r.i.p.
Rest in peace Buchta and Rosalie, may they always be in our hearts
Poor girls. Only a year and a half old...🌈
How fragile a manul's life is—it is sad to realize.
Oh no—how unexpected, sudden, and unbelievably sad! 😥 Just this October, I received word that they were doing well...
They were such wonderful, bright-eyed fluffy girls! From my favorite dynasty of fluffy dandelions 💔
I am so, so sorry.
How fragile our little kitties and hiccupy ones are. I went and checked on my little tails. They are sleeping peacefully, twitching their whiskers and paws in their sleep. So sweet. So dear. And so fragile. They need to be protected.

And what is your favorite photo of the gang on the posts? It’s delightful, really.
Oh, by the way, that very photo is in the post.
Oh no 😭
Girls, play on fluffy clouds.
They sent adorable photos in the style of “find the manul.”
There are no words... How unfairly the lives of young manuls are cut short 😭
I hate that we lost 2 more wonderful creatures, but they are living their best lives beyond the Rainbow Bridge free of pain. Knowing Buchta and Rosalie are watching over us from on high makes their absence easier to bear.
That being said, a terrible day for rain.
Fly high, beautiful girls! Have a good hunt above!
I wonder what happened to them 😢😢💔
Such a shame. And the poor zoo staff, they must be feeling so unhappy.
Do any of you know the English children's book (and film) Swallows and Amazons? The photo of Buchta and Rosalie together always made me think of Nancy and Peggy, the tomboy Amazon Pirates.
Death is always sad, of course, but she will not be lonely, because her sister is by her side.
Good hunting, beautiful girls. You will be missed 💖
😭They were still so very young; their whole manul lives lay ahead of them.😭
Pavel Burov, Happy hunting in the high, high tundra.
They were so tiny...
Such little babies 💔
Yu, I’m really crying right now.
Like, as I’m writing this, tears are falling from my eyes.
Wixty burger, in hideys heart for you
My condolences to the zoo staff and to the admirers of the wonderful Bukhta and Rozali. Life can be cruel at times. And we will miss the two lovely sisters terribly. How vulnerable manuls are to viruses and bacteria... It must have been some kind of infection, if it struck two manuls at once...
Be happy in the Heavenly Steppe! And keep watch over your fluffy kin on Earth.
