Aurelius Augustus Caesar - just called Augie for short - was brought to Cat Tales attention by the Regional Animal Services of King County in 2013. He has been kept by a private owner as a pet and 'service' animal, having been declawed and neutered for this purpose. Though he has been rescued from this home, Augie needed a permanent place to live out his life in peace. And so in August, the zoo director and curator drove over 50 miles in order to rescue him and bring him back to Cat Tales.
Unfortunately these stories are all too common, and many bobcat kittens taken from the wild end up given to rescues as adults, just like Augie. It is our goal to make sure they all adapt as well as he has, and live their life with just as much joy.

Jakobi was purchased online from a private owner, and unfortunately his story began in a way that is very familiar to us. Though considered a beloved family pet, the private owners informed us at Cat Tales that we had merely two days to take this seven year old bobcat in before he would be euthanized. Despite the rush on this situation, we successfully took in Jakobi and saved him from being euthanized by the reason of inconvenience.
Now sixteen years old, Jakobi continues to enjoy life at Cat Tales. He comes out mostly around feeding time, or the natural time for activity in bobcats - around dusk until dawn.

Stitches was born in June of 2009 within the wild of South Dakota. It was there he was found orphaned, without injuries but no sign of what had happened to his mother. Wildlife rescue brought him for a temporary stay at the South Dakota Great Plains Zoo where he was given his name and an all clear for health. At five weeks of age he was sent to Cat Tales Zoological Center for a permanent home - and he immediately settled in. Good genes, good care, and family in the keepers around him have brought Stitches' personality to the forefront.
Nowadays he likes to play 'Watch Cat,' keeping a careful eye on the work of our keepers to make sure that no one slacks off on their job while under his watch.

Wizard was first brought to our attention when a civilian contacted us requesting that we take in his Bobcat, as he had been informed by wildlife authorities that the windowless, light-less, filthy room that he had been keeping the Bobcat in was not appropriate accommodations. Despite our assurances that we would find space and be in contact in the next few days, impatience ruled, and Wizard's original owner dropped him off at a veterinarian clinic with enough funds to have him euthanized. We are eternally thankful that the very veterinarian was our Senior vet at the zoo. Rather than euthanize Wizard, he contacted us. We gave him the name Wizard from his original 'Lizard,' settling him into his very own habitat.
Free from his rocky start, Wizard is now a healthy and vibrant boy entering into his senior years, who wins the hearts of every visitor with his big eyes and tall ear tufts.
