Autumn
HISTORY
Bobcat Autumn arrived with her sister Amber after being orphaned in the wild and placed with Lake Tahoe Wildlife Center. All too often, rescuers wait too long to surrender orphaned wildlife to a rehabilitation facility which results in habituation to humans and eliminates any chance for reintroduction.
After agreeing to accept both girls for placement, we were later able to successfully merge bobcat Kuma, and all three girls are enjoying each other’s company and loving their new Safe Haven home.
ABOUT BOBCATS
Bobcats can be found throughout most the US and can live up to 15 years in the wild and up to 30 in captivity. Although generally solitary in the wild, female bobcats have been known to share overlapping territory. Although not considered endangered, they commonly fall victim to hunting and trapping due to their fine furs.
