Cedar the blind baby moose finds a home at Toronto Zoo

[Catherine]

Cedar was found alone on a rural road and was brought to Holly's Haven Wildlife Rescue. Cedar was calling out, probably looking for his mother.
He was found  to be blind in one eye and to have only partial vision in the other eye. It is unlikely he could survive in the wild. The rescue is licenced to rehabilitate animals and release them. He can't stay there permanently. The rescue also doesn't have a suitable place to house a full grown moose.
The rescue has asked the Toronto Zoo if they can take him. The zoo has a place for him and is willing to take him.
However, the require permission from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. If the zoo is not permitted to take him, Cedar would probably be euthanized.

It is unfortunate that Cedar can't live in the wild, but without sight, how could he survive.
The zoo would be an ideal place for him. He could live out his life comfortably. He would also, by his presence, serve to teach people about what an amazing animal a moose is.
I just hope the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources makes a reasonable decision. Cedar seems healthy and happy. He deserves a chance to  live out his life in peace.

The news is out! Cedar will be moved to Toronto Zoo. The zoo has the right facilities for him and he will be more than welcome.
Now they just need to make sure he is ready for a move.

This is exciting news for Cedar. He was a lost little baby and now he has a bright future. He will be much loved in Toronto. He will have room and everything he needs. An added bonus is the fact that I can go and see him when he arrives. It is always nice when there is a happy ending.
