Victor Cuevas, the suspect seen fleeing with a tiger in a west Houston neighborhood, pens a letter to India the tiger in an Instagram post on Wednesday night.
The Bengal tiger that was roaming a neighborhood in Houston for several days earlier this month now has a new home.
India the tiger has been taken to the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch, an animal sanctuary in Murchison, Texas, about 90 minutes east of Dallas. The facility is part of the Humane Society of the United States.
As you may recall, India was being kept as a pet, which is illegal.
He arrived at his new home on May 15. After a short stay in a temporary habitat to acclimate, he was introduced to his new home on May 22.
India s new digs include a water feature, lush plants, and toys. And while at the ranch, India will enjoy a proper diet, enrichment and an expansive naturally wooded habitat, the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch said in a statement.
North Texas – Good news! Looks like India the tiger is settling in well at her new home in Murchison, located between Dallas and Tyler in north Texas.
Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch posted an update on India to their Facebook page Wednesday afternoon saying the tiger is eating well, napping in his hammock, batting around balls, and splashing in his water trough.
Happy Wednesday! We are very excited to bring you updates on India and how he is doing here at #blackbeautyranch!

The ranch added that India also enjoys attention from his caregivers who interact with him a lot through the fencing, so he feels safe and comfortable.
