TAMPA, Fla. – Exotic cats at the Big Cat Rescue got to enjoy their Thanksgiving dinners a few days early.

Tigress Kali and jaguar Manny received turkeys just like many people do this time of year. However, they each ate entire raw turkeys on Tuesday.

Andre the Tiger got to devour a huge cardboard “pumpkin pie.”

Big Cat Rescue said its enrichment program provides the big cats with new sights, smells and tastes. The animal sanctuary said it also provides the opportunity for the big cats to use their natural instincts and behaviors, which is important for their mental wellbeing.

Tuesday’s event was not open to the public.
