The Kowiachobee Animal Preserve is a five-acre facility in Naples, Fla. and holds more than 100 animals — from a 6-year-old African Lion named Shaumbay to a raccoon named Dexter.
Last month, Kowiachobee was hit by the eye of Hurricane Irma, a Category 3 storm. After an already wet season, the hurricane created more flooding on the property. Grace and John Slaby, along with many volunteers, are now repairing cages damaged by the storm.
“We had anywhere from a foot to a foot and half of water across the entire property,” says 50-year-old John, describing the flooding at its peak.
