The Belgium-based Natuurhulpcentrum Oudsbergen facilitated his relocation to a permanent sanctuary for long-term care. During transit, Mir received professional care at Lufthansa's Animal Lounge. The airline expressed gratitude to the collaborating rescue organizations, highlighting its commitment to wildlife conservation.
