Overview

• The three-month-old calf was rescued in early July after being found alone on a rural road near Hawkesbury, Ont.
• Holly's Haven provided veterinary care and determined he was blind and not releasable to the wild.
• Ontario approved an exception to place Cedar at the Toronto Zoo pending zoonotic disease screening and other clearances, a step that avoided possible euthanasia.
• The rescue says he was eating, socializing and appeared healthy 90 minutes before he died, and the cause remains unknown.
• Holly's Haven will plant a living memorial of trees and plants to feed and shelter other wildlife in his memory.
