Every year, young
bobcats find themselves in need of a helping hand in southern California.
Occasionally they are healthy cats who just found themselves in the wrong place
at the wrong time; more often they are ill, malnourished, orphaned, or
suffering from injuries caused by proximity to human populations.
There is only one rescue group in San Diego County licensed to rescue, rehabilitate, and release native apex predators in need of medical attention: The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center. Their small staff and cadre of dedicated volunteers rescue hundreds of animals each year, including bobcats, eagles, coyotes, skunks, and the occasional mountain lion.
The Wildlife Center can house over 100 animals at one time, providing food, antibiotics, and wound care. Rescue and stabilization is just the beginning — then comes rehabilitation and release back into the wild. Appropriate areas for release are scouted in advance, to give rehabilitated animals the best chances of survival and ensure the patient won't be coming back in anytime soon.
