Snow Leopards in Europe

Not much is (publicly) known about Joep and Maddy. All I know is that according to the zoo, they arrived in 2022 from a zoo in England that was closing down (no idea which zoo). Both were most likely born in 2020.
I believe the collection was the Rare Leopard and Goat Farm - private collection owned by Todd Dalton (former RSCC owner).
 
At Zoo Basel, 10-month-old snow leopard male Vishal has died. He and his brother Vakaris health had become poor. They had diarrhoea and walked unsteadily; they were treated for this. It was suspected that the difficulty in walking was due to general weakness, but after improving their condition, the walking problem remained.

Vakaris was examined under anaesthesia along with a neurology specialist, but no cause was found. The pathological examination of Vishal is ongoing, but there too, no cause for the walking problem has been found so far. As far as the circumstances are concerned, Vakaris is doing well.

The 1-year-old snow leopard male Attan will move from The Big Cat Sanctuary to Nordens Ark on April 28th. There, he will be paired with the female present there.

Does anyone know which female this is?
The male, Attan didn't move on the 28th April, the move was been rescheduled and he left Big Cat Sanctuary last night. I believe Norden's Ark hold the following:

0,1 Ceba - born on 02/04/17 at Twycross
1,0 Arataan (Tom) - born on 28/04/14 at Welsh Mountain Zoo

With that being said, has Arataan moved collection or since passed away?

Thanks! It seems that Arataan is indeed no longer in Norden's Ark, but what happened to him I unfortunately do not know either.
