TAMPA – Big Cat Rescue staffers flew into town Tuesday with a 9-month-old bobcat kitten rescued from Rhode Island.
The kitten was at the center of a months-long legal battle that touched off after a Rhode Island vet seized him from someone who bought him from a backyard breeder.
It is illegal to have bobcats as pets in Rhode Island.
The cat’s owner went to court to get the cat back, but the state won. Now the bobcat will live at Big Cat Rescue for the rest of his life.
“Sadly, because Max was born in captivity as the result of a backyard breeding operation, he will never be able to live on his own in the wild as all bobcats should,” said Big Cat Rescue CEO Carole Baskin.
