Hello to all our supporters and animal lovers!
We at Cat Tales Wildlife Center have some exciting and heartwarming news to share about the newest member of our family, Ricky, a charming bobcat who has had quite a tumultuous journey.
Ricky’s Story: From Peril to Protection
Ricky was born in the wilds of Oklahoma but lost his way early on. As an orphaned cub, he faced numerous challenges, the greatest of which was his impaired vision, which made him non-releasable back into the wild. When we learned that Ricky was on the verge of being euthanized because of state wildlife regulations, we knew we had to assist.
A Safe Haven for Ricky
Thanks to our community’s support, our team’s dedication, and the Oklahoma rehab, we secured the necessary permits and organized his transport to our center, an endeavor that cost over $2,000. Ricky is safely with us, undergoing his quarantine before he can explore his permanent home at our facility.
Building a Home for Ricky
However, our mission doesn’t stop here. Ricky’s new enclosure—a safe, enriching environment tailored to his needs—is estimated to require an additional $4,000 in materials. This is where we need your help!
