Sad news came from the Center for the reproduction of rare species of animals: Babnik Kesha, Karagandaโ€™s eldest son, has passed away ๐Ÿ’”

Kesha lived a long manul life โ€” he was 11 years old. The cause of death was cancer.

We first met Innokenty in purrson in January of this year. Like a true son of Karaganda, he was secretive, elusive, and not happy to have visitors. Still, he allowed us to admire him for a few minutes: peeking out from behind the snowdrifts with his big, round emerald eyes, as if asking, โ€œWho are you?โ€ It was both beautiful and very funny! โ˜บ๏ธ

This is how we will remember Kesha โ€” as a funny, cute, incredibly charming, fluffy little forest spirit, peeking out from behind a snow-white snowdrift among the birches, looking at us with wonder and caution ๐Ÿ’š

May you have an endless sunlit heavenly steppe, dear manul. And good hunting! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป


We extend our condolences to the staff of the Center for the reproduction of rare species of animals and to all manulovers ๐Ÿ™

    What a golden sun this little one was! Itโ€™s such a shame that heโ€™s gone. Let us be grateful that he was with us and so generously gave us so much joy! My condolences to the staff of the Center, and many thanks to them for the wonderful conditions they created for this remarkable cat! May you have a gentle rainbow, dear one, a beautiful forest, and cozy burrows! Plenty of tasty pikas and free winds! ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ™

    11 years... It seems he could have lived a little longer in his own domain. What a pity... He was so much like his starry dad, Karaganda.๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    So sad! Maneki Neko is now the oldest offspring of Karaganda I believe. May he rest in peace with many Pika!
