Based on a true story that I followed on a youtube channel.


In loving memory of Ichel, a 10-years-old female cheetah who was given the chance to finally living a peaceful life, leaving both the past and circus performance behind.

She was born in Kenya, then at the age of five, she was brought to Russia to replace the deceased cheetah. From what I saw through comments on YouTube, seems like everything started with her not being accepted by a group of cheetahs who may have stolen her food (I believe that’s the main reason ‘cause she was gravely ill, and the group sensed that) and other reasons that I may not know of, so, as a result of it, her previous trainer had decided to gift her to new owners before the end of 2019.

In only three months and half she already made some amazing healing progress and learned what’s like being loved thanks to her new lovely owners, despite her incurable sickness that was just discovered a few weeks ago after multiple diagnosis. I’ve been following their channel since early January and already a bit fond of her. ;w;
