Redd made a massive impact in his seven years of life. He was born premature and had a rough start. According to keepers, he did not transition to eating meat well so he had to have a feeding port at a young age. He was fitted with custom shirts and onesies to protect his feeding port. The Cat Ambassador Team said Redd wasn’t even supposed to live at the Cincinnati Zoo but his “sweet personality won us over and we couldn’t let him go.”
