But one of the keepers decided she would do everything she could to make sure that wouldn’t happen.
So she decided to take Pip home and started caring for her around the clock.
Rescued just in time
She fed her every two hours, even during the night, and gave her the TLC she needed.
Soon, Pip started gaining weight and energy. But there was still one problem: otters are very social animals, and Pip really missed the animal contact she used to get from her mum and siblings, despite receiving her human mum's attention.
A whole new family
So her new human mum decided to introduce her to her other pets, namely Sam the Bengal cat. Though the two creatures are incredibly different, they share the same spirit, and so, they soon became the best of friends.
In the end, Pip got the loving family she deserved!
In the UK, otters are a protected species, and you must hold a license to keep one. While Pip is a rescued animal being taken care of by a professional, we do not recommend or support keeping exotic animals; they are meant to be in the wild and are not suited to pet-style lives.
