Episode 3
Documentary series. Maya is ten weeks old and is starting to push the family to their limits. Giles is invited to take her on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Breakfast.
Maya is ten weeks old and is starting to push the family to their limits. She is wreaking havoc in the house, destroying the bookshelf, getting into the fridge and ripping up the sofa. She is showing possessive behaviours with her toys and Kathryn and Sam are noticing that she is starting to bite hard too. Maya is doing so well that Giles is invited to take her on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Breakfast so he can raise the profile of all big cats around the world.
Giles takes in a cheetah called Willow - at five months old she is recovering from an incident where she broke her paw. She was unable to return to her mother and siblings and it is back to late nights for Giles as he builds her trust. Having raised enough money, Giles goes to Kenya with GPS collars he has funded and darts and collars a female in a pride that needs his help. Maya is given the all clear on her health by the vet. Both Maya and Willow now live with all the other cats at the sanctuary playing their role as ambassadors for their wild cousins globally.
