A tiger seen wandering a Houston neighborhood last week was headed to an animal sanctuary Sunday after police released a video of the captured animal being bottle fed and petted.
Police Commander Ron Borza said the 9-month-old tiger named India appeared to be in good health. India was seen Monday wandering around a west Houston neighborhood. An off-duty deputy nearly shot him before someone scooped up the 175-pound cub and drove off.
The city-wide search concluded Saturday when a friend of the owners tipped BARC, the city s animal shelter, to India s whereabouts. Borza said a couple he described as India s owners, Victor and Giorgiana Cuevas, then turned the tiger over to police.
