Paws what youโre doing! Thereโs an adorable new duo at The Living Desert. ๐ฑ๐งก๐ฑ
Two months ago, these bobcat siblings were found abandoned in a cardboard box on a driveway in Oregon. At only 4 weeks old and with no mother in sight, they had no chance of survival on their own, and their future looked uncertain โ but their story was just beginning.
A new path forward was made possible thanks to the quick action of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and The Living Desert. On May 1, two of our dedicated Animal Care Curators traveled to Oregon and safely drove them back to their new home.
Since retrieving the siblings, our expert team has bottle-fed, monitored, and nurtured every step of the way to ensure their health and wellbeing. Because of the circumstances in which they were found, these bobcats canโt return to the wild. Instead, theyโll spend their lives here under our care โ growing, playing, and serving as ambassadors for their species.
Now at 10 weeks of age, the kittens are officially in Eagle Canyon, and you wonโt want to miss them! Theyโve started exploring their permanent habitat, showing off their best climbing moves, pouncing skills, and non-stop kitten zoomies. ๐พ
Thanks to a heartfelt gesture from longtime Zoo supporters, these kittens were given names that honor the memory of two cherished parents whose legacy of love lives on here at the Zoo.
Welcome home, JoAnn and David. ๐
