If it walks like a kitten and sounds like a kitten…it might be a bobcat. 🐾
Meet Damnit Bobby.
Because, damnit, Bobby…that’s a bobcat.
A former adopter reached out after her dog brought home this teeny, tiny “kitten.” She knew the little guy needed help, so she called us. And naturally, we said, “Yep.”
We were eager to help. We got him warm. We got him fed. We got him snuggled.
And then we looked at him a little more closely.
Those ears.
Those markings.
Those paws.
That kitten ain’t right.
We also noticed something much more concerning: Bobby didn’t appear to have normal control of his back legs. At that point, this was officially above our pay grade—and, more importantly, wildlife like Bobby requires specialized, permitted care.
So we reached out to our friends at Paws and Claws Wildlife Rehabilitation, who immediately stepped up. We kept Bobby warm, fed, safe, and sufficiently spoiled overnight, then got him transferred yesterday. He is now exactly where he needs to be, with wildlife professionals and veterinarians who can properly—and legally—evaluate and treat him.
And THAT is what rescue collaboration looks like.
Nobody has to be everything to every animal. One person noticed an animal in trouble. She called someone she trusted. We provided the care we could. Then another organization with the right expertise took the baton.
Different organizations. Different specialties. Same goal: give the animal in front of us the best possible chance.
It takes a village, y’all.
Or, as Hank Hill might say, I tell you hwhat. ❤️
Good luck, Damnit Bobby. You may not technically be one of our kittens, but you’ll always be an honorary one.
