    BCR to the rescue again! Summer is beautiful and although she cannot go into the wild BCR has given her a great place to live and enjoy her life, which would certainly end in the wild quickly but probably not before spreading some genetic defects...BCR does the right thing for the Cat and the environment! Way to always be there BCR. 🐾

    I always feel that female bobcats have such soulful eyes. Bobcats like Breezy, Tom Tom, and Tiger Lilly; you could see so much in their eyes, like a fierce spirit or a gentle soul. Summer had those soulful eyes (and such an adorable face!). I'm sad that she isn't eligible for release, but at least she'll have a loving home with the incredible BCR staff.

    She is beautiful, and she looks so happy in her lovely enclosure! Very interesting that the impact of defective genes in the wild genepool is partly a factor in deciding to release or not. It's not something I've ever thoought about before, but it makes perfect sense. I'm glad she will have a chance to live a happy life in the best place for her. Keep up the good work!

    That poor kitten, she may be a bobcat, but she's just a baby. Handle her more gently. She has no idea what's going on other than she lost her Mother.. God please look over her and help her get through all of this craziness. She's probably very afraid of something she's never known. Wish I could help you. You are saving her life, Thank you for saving her ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

      @Cathy Silva she was found in an area where the forrest was being cleared for a construction site. The earth excavator had scooped her up, luckily, the workers spotted her in time. It's a bitter-sweet story but, now that she's with the BCR, it's definitely sweet! 😻❤️

      Summer has several neighbors that she engages with during the day and many keepers who care for her and visit daily. Big cats (even bobcats) are solitary by nature and do not want to live with others or share food or space. In addition, Summer cannot live with others because of her tiny size (7 pounds) and the fact she cannot pass bones/fur/whole prey which the cats get twice a week. If another cat she lived with were to leave some, it could kill Summer. We are not willing to take that chance.

    • @bigcatrescue
      @bigcatrescue  8 месяцев назад

      Wild cats, with the exception of lions are solitary animals. They do not want to live with anyone else and they are NOT pets! They would rip your face off. They are fierce even if they live in a cage. They would never allow us to touch them in the wild and they aren't going to in a cage either. They are predators...not domestic house cats.

      Wild cats, except for lions are solitary by nature. They only come together to mate. They do not want to share food, space, or toys. She has many cat neighbors and keepers who are near her every day. You can watch her LIVE cam 24/7 at BigCatTV.com
