Cheyenne
Felis concolor
- PUMA
This young female was taken from the wild by someone who thought she was
“lost”.
While it will never be
known for sure, all indications point to an attempt to “get a pet from the
wild”.
The process went “Sour”
when the “rescued” cub nearly starved to death.
Finally with the help of
a couple who had experience working with exotic cats,
she was stabilized and
began eating. Her real home was in Oregon along the Snake River.
The Oregon Department of
Fish & Game were contacted along
with Cat Tales. Through a
cooperative effort of the couple caring for her and the State of Oregon,
she was placed here at
the Park. Unfortunately, because of the human contact,
she could not be returned
to the wild. She is now an education ambassador helping
teach others to allow the
wild to remain undisturbed as well as teaching
that these cats were
never intended to be “Pets”.
