Kiara is a big cat, but no ordinary. Her father was an African Lion and her mother is a linger — a cross between a lion and a tiger. Her breed was called a lilinger.

Kiara was born last month in the Novosibirsk Zoo in Russia and was the first lilinger in the world.

According to some news, due to her mother was unable to produce enough milk, Zoo staff feed Kiara through a bottle, but Dasha, an ordinary cat stepped in and fed her.

Kiara was adopted and raised by an ordinary house cat.

The practice of breeding hybrid cats such as Bengal Cats and Stone Cougars has been criticized by experts and dubbed it as “irresponsible” and “Highly Dangerous”, specially when kept as pets. “In a nutshell, it is an irresponsible thing to do and there is no redeeming reason to cross breed these cats nor to support those who do by buying one. It almost never works out for the individual cat and in the rare case that it does, the number of animals that had to suffer in order for this one rare cat to exist is staggering”, Carole Baskin, the founder of Big Cat Rescue.

Kiara will be staying in the zoo as an unsuspecting kitten with other big cats and new foster house cat.
