History

Rooibos was wandering on the outskirts of the village when he climbed the outdoor stairs of a rural hotel. When he saw people, he was so frightened that he jumped from the second floor. We arrived thinking he would not make it, but he woke up and recovered without fractures.

He belonged to no one. He has changed enormously since then: he is affectionate and special, although he still dislikes being picked up. He preferred to throw himself off the terrace rather than let people come near him.
