Enter the Lions Tigers & Bears sanctuary and sanctuary founder Bobbi Brink. Lions Tigers & Bears specializes in providing homes for 50-plus "rescue" animals, including jungle cats, horses, a pot-bellied pig, llamas and various fowl.

Brink offered a permanent home to the cub. Her sanctuary also provided space for Meatball, the California black bear discovered roaming the neighborhoods of Glendale, La Crescenta and Montrose in 2012.

Meatball, whose age is unknown, is a celebrity of sorts at Lions Tigers & Bears. He weighs 410 pounds and enjoys eating salmon and avocados and swimming in a small pool, officials said.

The 25-pound tiger, as yet unnamed, arrived in Alpine on Saturday.

The animal is "resting, eating well and exploring his new environment," according to the sanctuary's Facebook page.

Monday will be a big day: "He'll be making his media debut and checking in with the veterinarian."
