A rescue tiger at the Caresse de Tigre rescue in Normandy, France, enjoyed a beautiful serenade from a man, and the response is so precious.
In a video posted to Instagram Reels, viral animal serenader Plumes performed a cover of Jack Johnson’s “Do You Remember” for two tigers, including a rare white tiger. In the video, both tigers approached the singer calmly while he played guitar and sang for them. The white tiger eventually sat down to listen to Plumes play his song and watched him.
He seemed to enjoy the performance and even yawned at the end, showing that he felt relaxed in his presence.
“His yawn at the end 😭❤️🩹,” Plumes wrote in the caption. “I had such a great time singing for these beautiful Tigers.” This is also not the first time Plumes performed for other animals. The singer-songwriter is best known for serenading other animals, such as elephants, donkeys, and even other tigers.
People on the internet loved the gentle moment shared between them, with users commenting on “how beautiful” it was to witness. One user even said, “I think he’s trying to sing with you!”
“Your videos are soothing, and I love the animals’ reactions to you,” one person said, while another also noted, “After watching this account for so long, I insist on animal sanctuaries and zoos to have music time for all animals ❤️.”
“What a thing it is to be able to make these animals feel so at ease 🖤,” another user added.

All about the work at Caresse de Tigre
The Caresse de Tigre sanctuary is located in France and is dedicated to helping tigers that were born and raised in captivity.
According to the official website, the tigers that live at the sanctuary ” cannot be reintroduced into the wild.”
“We can offer these animals a long and comfortable life,” they explained. “They grow up in better conditions than in the wild, experience fewer health problems, and live longer.” The sanctuary has a mix of lions and tigers that live there and are cared for after being rescued.
“Felines are known for spending a lot of time resting, and tigers and lions are no exception,” they continued. “Nevertheless, they often only sleep with one eye open and remain attentive to everything happening around them. We take care to respect the calm of the enclosure and do nothing that could disturb or stress the big cats.”
