From Carole

I Sleep With One Ear Open

Last night I got a call at 9:45 pm from the Sheriff of a county nearly 2 hours away, saying, “We are responding to a call from a motorist who said she struck a Florida Panther.  We just want to know, if the cat is still alive, would you be willing to respond.”  My answer was that whether it was a Florida Panther (highly unlikely) or a Bobcat, we would respond immediately upon confirmation that it was indeed a cat.  Thus began the waiting.

I called Jamie to let her know that we might be making a late evening dash across the state.  The good news was that because of the rescue of Illithia today, the van was already packed and ready to go with more than our usual bobcat rescue gear.  All we had to do was wait.  Since the vast majority of these calls turn out to be coyotes, raccoons or no animal found at all, we just don’t start driving without some sort of confirmation that a cat was involved.  The police were on it, so they could control the situation if a cat was found.

By 10:02 police had scoured the scene with the woman who said the cat had done down into a drain pipe.  There was no blood at the scene and no sign of a cat, but the police called the FWC who, rather remarkably, dispatched an officer to help rip out the drain to see if there was indeed a cat involved.  I reminded the officer again, that whether it was a Florida Panther or a Bobcat, we would still like to know, even if the cat was found dead. He promised to call and let me know if they found a cat, dead or alive.  Now all there was to do was wait, and wait and wait for the phone to ring.

When Pearlie woke me up this morning, I realized that no call had come, despite feeling like I’d slept with one ear listening for that call all night.  I can only presume no cat was found.  Not knowing for sure will haunt me for days.  It always does, and then another similar call will come a few days later. – Carole

WELCOMING a New African Serval

Exotic cats never work out long term as pets…even if you do everything right. Two men decided to make their fantasy come true by buying a precious baby serval. They did everything right from the beginning, including getting a Class II permit from the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission and permission from their Home Owner’s Association. They provided proper vet care, microchipped her and even made sure she was on an all raw meat diet. That’s not easy to do for a private pet owner, but it’s vital to the health and vitality of the wild cat. Read the whole story and see more photos at http://bigcatrescue.org/illithia/

Coordinator Report – Angie Gabor

It was a very busy day today! We started the day helping an injured dog found outside of our property. It was taken to the vet for care.

I want to thank Tanya, Maureen, Rich, Barbara, Amanda, Kristen, Candice, and Nicole for being a great team and cleaning the sanctuary today in this fun heat!!

Our project today, of cleaning, Cyrus and Chaos’ old enclosure to get it ready for our new serval, was completed by the awesome project group of Tanya, Mazz, Barbara, Amanda, Maureen, Nico, and Elizabeth. They did a great job and shortly after they finished we moved Illithia into her new home. She will need a few days to get used to her new home.

Big Thank You to all the volunteers that came in today, to help with tours. Also thanks to Maureen and Becky for doing the specialty tours today.

Like all great days, we ended the day with an intern sandwich!!!

Meet the Flat-headed Cat

Meet the Flat-headed cat! Panthera is featuring this rare and endangered small cat in their first entry of the new blog series, #SmallCatSpotlight.

Flat-headed cat  May 25 2019 61297999 10156434883528763 6496628937077030912 n 700x464
Flat-headed cat

This elusive feline, which earned its name from its flattened forehead, has rarely been observed in the wild. They are at risk from habitat loss and illegal trade and are considered Southeast Asia’s most threatened small felid. In partnership with local NGOs, Panthera is currently conducting flat-headed cat surveys in Borneo to understand their population numbers and how they are responding to threats like logging, poaching, and agricultural development.

    So happy the Baileys took home TWO kittens! Since I adopted three earlier this year, there isn’t a day goes by that I’m not engulfed in laughter with their antics. Kittens are always better in pairs…and my triplets are even better! <3
