Today at Big Cat Rescue Sept 19

Today included letting Rusty and Sassy Caracals back together, catching DesPurrado bobcat for blood work and another failed attempt at catching Modnic the tigress to return her back to her enclosure. Over the weekend volunteers Jennifer and Darren Holley built Modnic a triple level deck.

President Jamie Veronica goes in to catch DesPurrado the bobcat

DesPurrado the bobcat is not falling for the trick of "Go to the dark spot"

We finally gave up and Dr Wynn injected him while he was watching us

We are very happy to report that he has GAINED 3 lbs since last exam

DesPurrado is 16 (VERY old for a hybrid) in renal failure and has a thyroid problem

Gale pumps him full of fluids while he is sleeping

Dr Wynn checks his teeth, eyes, ears, heart and everything she can while he is sleeping

She takes blood and urine to see how his illness is progressing

It will take a couple of days to get the lab results back

DesPurrado is a bobcat - lynx hybrid. See how big his paws are?

Vet discusses a new strategy to help boost the bobcat's interest in food

Jamie covers eyes from light while Gale squeezes the last of the fluid into him.

Waking up fast so back into the squeeze cage before he comes to!

Waterbowls are elevated so that the cats don't pee in them. Raindance gets a drink.

  As soon as she gets up on it we will try to post a photo. Kind of boring with no cat on it yet. Her procedure will be a video soon, so watch for it on YouTube.com/BigCatRescue You can see some photos from the procedure by scrolling back in time here https://bigcatrescue.org/category/news-bcr/
