A tiny white tiger cub has been born in North Texas after his parents were rescued earlier this year.

The cub, named Kylo Ren, was born March 6 at In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue in Wylie, northeast of Dallas-Fort Worth. (The sanctuary's founder is a Star Wars fan, as you might've guessed.)

The tiny tiger is being cared for by the sanctuary's founder and a veterinarian after his mother, Zahra, seemed to reject him after his birth. She cleaned Kylo off and wasn't aggressive toward him, but she didn't keep him close, nurse him or respond to his cries, according to a news release.

After getting advice from a veterinarian, In-Sync founder Vicky Keahey stepped in to help care for the newborn cub, who's getting around-the-clock care.

He's fed every three hours with a special formula, sanctuary media director Angela Culver said.

"I’ve been told he is very loud when he’s hungry," she said.

Kylo's parents, Zahra and Assad, were seized from owners who were keeping them illegally, the sanctuary said in January.

The sanctuary shared photos of little Kylo snuggled up with blankets, stuffed animals and even a pillow with a heartbeat he can feel. The pillow is meant to simulate being close to his mom, Culver said.

A tiger's gestation period is between 93 and 112 days, the sanctuary said. Since Kylo was born 47 days after his parents were rescued, Zahra was about two months pregnant when she arrived at the sanctuary.

"While this birth was certainly unexpected, we are pleased to be able to offer little Kylo Ren a forever home," the sanctuary wrote on Facebook.

Tiger cub births are particularly unusual in the sanctuary, because animals are spayed or neutered when they arrive. Because In-Sync doesn't breed its animals or condone private breeding, the only time a cub will be born in the sanctuary is when the mother arrives pregnant, Culver said.

White fur like Kylo's is a rare genetic mutation, often the result of captive inbreeding, according to the Wildcat Sanctuary. Kylo's parents, were both inbred, and they're also brother and sister, so Kylo is inbred too, Culver said.

Inbreeding can cause health issues, but Kylo has been healthy so far, "which we’re very grateful for," Culver said.

Assad, Kylo's father, was neutered when he was quarantined for a month after being rescued, and Zahra will be spayed soon.

So, when can you go see the little guy? Kylo will be ready to play outside in an enclosure once he's vaccinated at 3 months old, Culver said.

In-Sync Exotics, which is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays, is home to dozens of neglected, abused or unwanted exotic animals.
