Cody Tibbitts says the tiger cub escaped when the water rose on his 13-acre property last week. She was found wandering a neighborhood and was taken to the Conroe animal shelter.

Police arranged for him to see the tiger again, but it's going to be up to a judge to decide where she ends up.
"I obviously don't like the way she's living in a cage like this, but I can only do so much," said Tibbitts. "We'll see where she goes and see what the judge decides."
The cub is only about five months old and weighs a little more than 100 pounds. But she will eventually be 500 pounds. That owner told us he would love to see her sent to a tiger sanctuary in Tyler, Texas.
