Eerie is one of three black leopards who reside at the care facility, but of the three he is definitely the most recognizable, as he has no tail. His tail was severely injured when he was young by another cat and had to be removed, but even though he doesn't have his tail and he isn't very tall, he definitely has the dark and handsome going for him and he knows it! Eerie is very much so a ladies man…he lures the women of CARE in for a back scratch with his exotic looks and sweet kisses. Eerie was named after his birthplace, Eerie County New York, but if you didn't know this fact you may think he got his name from the "eerie" glow of his beautiful green eyes.  Eerie also has another physical abnormality that isn't as noticeable as his missing tail; he suffers from a genetic spinal defect.  An abnormally large growth spurt at 2 years old only added to his spinal curvature. Eerie now has to take medication every day keep him comfortable and happy. 

Eerie is an amazing example of being perfectly imperfect. It is this fact that causes so many who visit CARE to fall in love with him.
