A trio of orphaned mountain lion cubs rescued in San Mateo County have recovered with specialized care in the Oakland Zoo's wildlife rehabilitation center. They will soon be ready for forever homes, zoo officials announced this week. The cougar siblings, Fern, Spruce, and Thistle, were found in Portola Valley in January. Spruce will be welcomed in April to the Birmingham Zoo in Alabama, where he will live with a female mountain lion. Zoo officials matched the cougars together based on their personalities. Fern and her brother, Thistle, will remain together, zoo officials said. The CDFW is still working to find a AZA accredited home with mountain lions that will mirror natural social structures.
