Pet Servals Escape in CA NY and OH
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 4th, 2010
Photo: NY Department of Environmental Conservation
The wild cat species serval (Leptailurus serval) live in Africa. Thus it was a surprise recently when it was reported that a serval weighing 30 pounds was found on the New York Thruway. It was first identified as a 150-pound leopard. The felid was found August 23, 2010, on the eastbound lane of the Thruway at milepost 303 in the vicinity of Interchange 40, Auburn/Weedsport, New York.
Serval killed in Pennsylvania.
Serval killed in Kansas.
Perhaps what was more surprising is that Glenn Donnelly, who keeps 48 different exotic cats at a licensed private wildlife preserve near Weedsport, New York, stepped forward to tell authorities that the cat might have escaped from his place. He wasn’t sure.
David Figura of The Post-Standard, Syracuse, New York, must be credited with the understatement of the year: “It wasn’t your typical roadkill.”
DEC spokesman Yancey Roy said the animal is currently being examined at the DEC office in Syracuse and that it does have some kind of “tag.”
It is legal to possess a serval as a pet if one has a U.S. Department of Agriculture “exhibitor’s” permit, which Donnelly “apparently has,” Roy said.
Meanwhile, in Ohio, near the mall in German Township, near Dayton, authorities were looking for a missing serval from a German Twp. home since July. It was not considered a serious danger to the public, police said on Monday, August 30, 2010. It was last seen north of the Upper Valley Mall two weeks ago, officials said. (New York is too far from Ohio for this to be the same cat.)
Elsewhere, in California (not Montana, sorry), on August 23, 2010, this was letter published in the area’s local paper:
In the past month my housecat has been severely sliced up twice. I wondered if a bobcat and he now had overlapping territories. Then yesterday afternoon I found this hybrid cat, (I believe it is a Savannah cat which is a hybrid between a Serval and a housecat) just outside my front door.
The cat has a blue collar with a bell attached. No normal cat could stand a chance against him. Triple check your chicken enclosures and do not leave windows open. I read in Coastsider someone in Montara is setting out an animal trap. This might very well be to catch this animal. He was seen on Date Street (cross is Edison) at 7:40 pm August 22, 2010.
I had previously heard of these cats because one has come inside neighbors homes and killed quite a few caged pets in El Granada. Apparently they are a legal pet. Margot Lowry
Will reports of black servals be next in store for North America?

More pumpkin antics by big cats:
Every day is exciting at Big Cat Rescue!
Our wonderful and creative volunteers created Jack O Lanterns on Wednesday and installed glow sticks on Friday so that the Halloween Night Tour had an extra special effect to their tour.
Even though it sprinkled rain all day the keepers diligently cared for the cats while the customer relations crew gave tours and restocked the gift shop. Jamie finished up the tracking project for WildTrack.org with the help of Modnic tiger, Alex tiger and Bella tiger. We have two more wagons of sand and may try the new TX tigers, Amanda, Andrea and Arthur, but even if we can’t get their paw prints we got more than the required 21 rear left paw prints for the computer database.
Our first order from the company that we are switching to for household cleaning products arrived and we divided out the products into the areas where we need them. The intern housing got the laundry soap, the Cat Hospital got the disinfectants and lotions, Food Prep got an alternative for bleach that is more effective and less dangerous and the Gift Shop got hand cleaners for the rest rooms and other housekeeping items.
Tonga the white serval is still healing in the Cat Hospital under the watchful eye of the Skipaholics. Zoul wouldn’t eat so he got fluids and is going in to see the vet Saturday morning. Raindance the bobcat is walking better although she still has a bit of a head tilt, so we are thinking the antibiotics must have cleared up an ear infection that was causing her to wobble.
