Important Bobcat Rehabilitation Info

State law requires that bobcats be released very near where they were captured, so no one can move them for you.  If you find an injured or orphaned bobcat, call your state's Department of Wildlife and ask if they can connect you to a rehabber.  ​The white flashes on the back of black ears and the half tail are signs of a bobcat. See in the photos below.  Bobcats also have short tails (thus their name).

 

Bobcat Rehabilitation

​Rehabbing and releasing bobcats is much more difficult that the rehabilitation of most wildlife. These magnificent little wildcats need every opportunity to fulfill their role in nature so if at all possible, leave them alone.

​

No one is allowed to trap and relocate bobcats so anyone who tells you that they will do that is probably trapping them to use as bait for training dogs.  ​Read more about why relocating wildcats doesn’t work:  http://bigcatrescue.org/relocating-bobcats-and-cougars/  ​
