However, they said that Oreo seems to be getting stronger and is now able walk short distances.
Announcing their decision, they wrote: “We have decided she deserves a chance at life and will give her all the specialist medical care she requires.”
Five Sisters Zoo started as a garden centre, which began to re-home pets “that were either no longer wanted or could no longer be cared for”. It officially opened as a zoo in 2005 and now houses over 165 different species of animals.
