[cq_vc_timeline bordercolor=”sunflower” ismove=”true”][cq_vc_timeline_item icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-flag” iconbgstyle=”sunflower” itembackground=”lightgray” itemtitle=”Meet rescued, orphaned bobcat kitten, Cooper”]This bobcat, Cooper, was found in Palatka.  Cooper is about 12 weeks old and is emaciated and covered in fleas and ticks. It appears his mom is gone and he was left to figure out survival on his own. Doing that inside a chicken coop got him busted. With your help we can restore his health and to his rightful place in the wild. He was found in Palatka, FL.  The lady who called us asked if we would name him Cooper since he was found in her chicken coop.

You can tell he’s been on his own for a few days because he’s just exhausted and so skinny. Looks like he’s pretty dehydrated too, despite being on a little pond.  He is VERY skinny and covered in fleas and ticks. The vet drew some blood and they will treat him for parasites. He’s going to be feeling a lot better in just a few hours, when the blood suckers start to fall off and die.

He will have a nest cam on him in the Recovery Hospital until he’s well enough to go out to the 4000 SF rehab cage.

[/cq_vc_timeline_item][cq_vc_timeline_item icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-thermometer” iconbgstyle=”sunflower” itembackground=”lightgray” itemtitle=”July 25,2017 ; Cooper Visits the Vet”]Cooper had an intake exam. He weighed 3.4 pounds. Blood was collected and sent to the lab. He was treated for fleas and ticks were removed from his face and ears. Cooper was also dehydrated and given sub q fluids. Over all he looks good, he just needs some time to grow up a little before being released. He is a feisty little guy.

Sad News:  He has hookworms, so he has to stay inside until they were gone, or it will have contaminate the rehab area.

Check out the photos

Here is a video of the visit

He's constantly messing with the sheets that cover his cage, trying to get the camera, and making it difficult for his keepers to shift him. Hopefully he will be negative for parasites soon so he can go to the outdoor rehab enclosures where he will be much happier.Cooper is a little trouble maker for sure. He’s constantly messing with the sheets that cover his cage, trying to get the camera, and making it difficult for his keepers to shift him. Hopefully he will be negative for parasites soon so he can go to the outdoor rehab enclosures where he will be much happier.  This feisty attitude is great to see.  He is already looking like he will have what it takes to be returned to the wild when he is old enough.

Here is a photo of him from this morning.  Look about halfway down from the top and about a third of the way from the left to see him sitting on his platform.

He was busy exploring before getting distracted by his dinner. He was so excited that he jumped too soon, but by practicing he will learn to hold still until his prey is too exposed to get away. He is still a little guy!

Cooper was napping on top of the high platform, when he woke up, bathed a bit and then he climbed down off of the top of the platform. It was SO cute the way that he climbed off of there…I wish I had thought to record him. I did get these two photos, though. So adorable! <3

[/cq_vc_timeline_item][cq_vc_timeline_item icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-heart” iconbgstyle=”sunflower” itembackground=”lightgray” itemtitle=”August 30, 2017″]Big Cat Friend Deb Quimby submitted this photo taken by Big Cat Friend, Robin Gable.  This is Keeper Karma in a Ghille suit doing keeper tasks for little rehab bobcat kitten, Cooper. Notice the tongs in Keeper Karma’s hand. She is in there cleaning the cage and collecting poop. Cooper is safely locked out of this section while the cleaning is being done.

One of these trees is not like the other.

One of these trees is not like the other. ?

Note from Keeper Karma:  Cooper is really not happy about being locked out of his large section while work is being done on it. He was sitting on one of his shelves in the small section barking and growling at me the whole time. Today I made him a special enrichment tube stuffed with small bags of catnip and cinnamon. They rattle when the tube is moved. I’m not sure if the camera is working on the small end, but I’m anxious to see if he pays any attention to it.
