Inside the adult female tiger's (Kiara) enclosure, there is a shift cage that is no longer being used. The interior area of this cage is not being properly maintained, allowing heavy overgrowth of weeds and plants. Excessive weed growth in close proximity to animals can create a habitat for insects, rodents and other vermin which may cause injury or contamination to the enclosed animal. The weeds must be removed, and this cage properly maintained. The premises must be kept clean and in good repair to protect the health of the animals. To be corrected by September 16, 2014. Inspection and exit interview was conducted with the licensee. Additional Inspectors Tygart Michael, Supervisory Animal Care Specialist
