In the early days of the Refugio, we welcomed this little puma, just one month old, who had been born in captivity and needed a home. Here, he found a family made up of humans, dogs, cats, parrots, and many other rescued animals.
For the first few years of his life, he lived freely, taking daily walks around the Sanctuary, bathing in streams, and running through the hills, maintaining a close relationship with the Refugio’s residents. Then, his wild instincts became stronger and harder to control, so it became necessary to place him in a more sheltered enclosure.
Huilo lived at the Refugio for 20 years, charming everyone who was lucky enough to meet him. He shared his life with Maqui and forever changed the hearts of those around him. He passed away at a very old age, in the arms of his caretaker.
He will forever be the guardian of this family.
