Invictus Unveils Mina Fundraising Plush as Profepa Lifts La Pastora Closure

The rescued black bear shows cautious improvement under 24-hour care with new video evidence of feeding.

Overview

  • Mina’s caregivers at Fundación Invictus released a video of the bear calmly eating pear pieces mixed with medication and supplements, signaling gradual recovery.
  • Invictus announced the “Un Abrazo para Mina” plush fundraiser starting October 15 on its official Mercado Libre profile at 380 pesos per item to support medical care, nutrition and rehabilitation for Mina and other rescues.
  • The foundation reports round-the-clock monitoring by veterinarians, students and volunteers, and notes treatments that include ozone oil for skin care as Mina continues in a delicate condition.
  • Mexico’s environmental authority Profepa lifted the preventive closure of Zoológico La Pastora on October 14 after the facility advanced on urgent corrective measures required since October 3.
  • The bear was transferred in late September from La Pastora to Invictus in Pachuca after severe malnutrition and stress were documented, with her leptospirosis diagnosis cited by Profepa in the original closure.
