The Story: I met this bobcat on a recent visit to the local wildlife hospital and rescue center. Most of the animals there were being rehabilitated after injuries or being raised as orphans. The four adult bobcats were healthy enough to return to the wild, but they had been "humanized" - meaning they associate humans with food and shelter. Instead of being set free, the two pairs stay as foster parents to any orphaned or injured baby bobcats to minimize human contact. I will be donating a portion of my profit to The Wildlife Center of New Mexico where this cat lives.
About the Bobcat: Bobcats are a small wildcat (about 20-30 pounds) that range through most of the continental United States and Mexico. Their fur varies from light gray to brown depending on their location. Their diet consists mainly of rabbits, but they will eat almost anything. Find out more in the Wikipedia article.
Bobcat is framed with a light blue-gray acid-free mat and convex soft black wooden frame. The glass is non-glare and UV-protected, and a wire for hanging is installed.
