The female tiger cub named Minnie was transported to the sanctuary on Sunday.

After the vets' health evaluation, they believe the cub to be about 2 months old. She has been receiving care since arriving at the sanctuary.

"We may not know much about her past, but we know she has a future full of happiness and love with us," said In-Sync Exotics' founder and president, Vicky Keahey.

This is the sixth time In-Sync Exotics has acquired tigers from the Laredo Border Patrol after cats were confiscated because of violations in the past.
