:: The Cat House ::

Bobcat (Lynx rufus)
	On the Least Concern list, the bobcat is one of the few success stories of wild cats surviving in today's world. Highly adaptable in both habitat and prey, and not repelled by living close to humans, as many as 1 million live across the United States and southern Canada today. As many as 80,000 are trapped for their fur every year, with 37 states allowing this. They are found in deserts, mountains, forests, and swamps. Their average weight is only 20 pounds, and 80 percent of their diet is rabbits.

Poppy	Three kittens arrived April 19 2009 at a few weeks of age (estimated birth date March 15). Born in an abandoned house in Mojave, the property owner spooked off the mother by moving the kittens. Too bad she didn't call us first. One male died in June.	More Photos: Arrivals 2009

Willow	Female, arrived at about 10 weeks old in June 2000. Apparently someone found this kitten in the desert outside Rosamond and took her home to make her into a pet. PLEASE never pick up wild animals you might see! They haven't been abandoned by their mother, she's probably hiding from you or off finding food. The kitten was not friendly to them and they didn't feed her correctly. She arrived here with a calcium deficiency, but she recovered.	More Photos: Arrivals 2000
