Cheetahs are sanctuary animals. They are unlocked at reputation level 3.
Like all other sanctuary animals, players can only have four of them, one of each type.
Appearance
Cheetahs have two different appearances: yellow and orange.
Unlocking cheetahs
Unlike other animals, cheetahs cannot be bought. Players must unlock them by finding puzzle pieces (which are collected in a log book). 36 pieces are required for each animal.
Once players have obtained the first cheetah, the puzzle for the second cheetah is unlocked.
Placing cheetahs
Players must pick up a cheetah house to be able to place the animal in the sanctuary. The house is free and can be obtained from the Shop. 
.
When the second puzzle is completed, players are asked to upgrade the house, which does not cost anything. The same happens when players complete the calf puzzle. When the house is big enough to welcome a new animal, it is delivered in a crate, "airlifted" into the sanctuary by balloons.
Feeding cheetahs
Cheetahs are fed with meat buckets. Once foxes have eaten eat they roam the sanctuary for ten hours and finally fall asleep. Players can immediately wake them up to receive 25 
per animal and a chance to get supplies. Cheetahs stay asleep otherwise.
Cheetahs which have been woken up but are not fed for a long while cannot fall asleep and wander around looking sleepy and tired.
Decorations
Each cheetah unlocks some decorations in the shop as specified below:
With each animal players are given the first pair of decorations for free.
