Mouser

Male Savannah Cat
Date of Birth: 1/1/2004
Date of Rescue: 9/8/2019

http://bigcatrescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Mouser-Savannah-Cat-2019.mp3

Mouser is a male Savannah cat born in 2004. He arrived here in 2019 with three bobcats from a failed California facility called the Wildlife Waystation. We are told he was used for handling by the public. This is a practice we oppose because it is not a good life for the cats and sends the wrong message to the public.

What made it possible to use him in this way is that he has an unusually social personality.  On the drive from California he loved to “make biscuits” in view of his rescuers. He also quickly learned on the trip that stopping for gas or to change drivers meant he got treats and he eagerly looked for them.

Once here at Big Cat Rescue we accidentally discovered that he loves to be sung to.  He comes over, rubs the fence, and listens intently.

It is extremely rare for a Savannah cat to be so friendly. The problem with letting the public handle a cat like this is that it encourages people to buy one as a pet. In the vast majority of cases, when the cats mature at around three years old they start to spray and bite and are no longer wanted.

Mouser, the Savannah cat, really seems to enjoy his new toys.

Mouser’s home enclosure was in an area of the sanctuary that during rainy season had a low spot of standing water nearby due to the excavation of some nearby land. Due to that there were always mosquitos no matter what we did, so it was decided to move Mouser to a more interior area of the sanctuary away from the mosquitos and nearer some of the smaller cats. Here is a look at the removal of 2×4 cage wire from an empty cage to the area where his new home will be. Check out these videos to see how that construction job was completed by all the staff, volunteers and interns over a several week period of time.

    There is no Savannah sponsorship option. And can you please let us just select the cats we want to sponsor in a dropdown instead of asking us to fill something in and mail it back? It’s just so much easier and quicker to do. Saves paper and time and money from mailing things here and there,

      Savannah cats are a hybrid. You will find them listed in that category. The application is totally online.

    Mouser was given to the Wildlife Waystation from a private owner, The Wildlife Waystation never used him for people to pet. Just to clarify your bio,

    I am a former volunteer at the wildlife waystation for 8 years. He loved all the attention and was very vocal with his opinions. I had forgotten that you took over his care and am glad happy he is thriving. Thank you 😊

    The Savannah cats are domestic. The serval is not.

      Savannah cats are not domestic cats. They are wild African Serval bred with domestic cats. BigCatRescue.org/hybrid-facts
