Did the fishing cat die, or are they no longer keeping the species?
I don't know. Here's the sign that was in the exhibit:
All signage for fishing cat was gone

Also, does anyone know if the zoo still has three Amur Tigers? In August when I went there were three but every other time there have only been two.

I thought Cleveland Zoo no longer had Wolf's Guenon?
I believe they were off exhibit for a while
Oh, wow! I guess I thought the Wolf's guenons left years ago. On CMZ's animal list (which has several errors- for example, still listing lorikeets instead of budgerigars and onagers instead of bison) they are listed as "Animals Formerly At Zoo." And you are definitely talking about Wolf's guenons instead of mangabeys? I'm not doubting you, I just thought I would have heard if they were back at CMZ.
Either way I'll do a full Primate list when I go next week
Last wolf's guenons should have left Cleveland in 2015. That's not to say they couldn't have returned, but I would be surprised (in a good way) if they did. I'm going to take @Baryonyx's word for it though since Wolf's Guenons are a fairly unmistakable primate species that's fairly difficult to misidentify.
I was mistaking the Colobus Monkeys for Wolf's Guenons. The Colobus have been no-shows every time I've gone to the zoo, and Wolfs did indeed leave a handful of years back. The Yellow Belly Mangabeys and Swamp Monkey (which are all yellow/tan, like the Wolfs G) were in those first exhibits by the PCA lobby so I'm guessing it was a case of mistaken identity. Will still check on Wednesday

Just left the zoo. Here's what I saw.
- Wolf's Guenon have returned to the zoo - The zoo no longer has Colobus Monkeys
- There is only one Meerkat left in African Elephant Crossing. The others have passed on
- Black and Sloth Bears no show
- Fishing Cat exhibit still empty
- Australia exhibits will likely remain closed for the season again from an employee

Will the zoo get new meerkats?
Also, I was talking to a docent today and she said that PCA will most likely be used as primate/ small mammal holding while Primate Forest is under construction.
Not sure, I'd imagine they would though. Not really much else you can put in that exhibit.
I was there middle march I saw Colobus in first exhibit on left as you entered into main area
Usually another good candidate would be created porcupine.
