The weather gods continue to smile on us here at WildCat Haven Sanctuary :) Despite ominous predictions of pouring rain, so far this week has delivered unbelievable weather. Now most folks would think that I obsess about this, but living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest you learn that life revolves around the rain. Don't misunderstand, I get that we have a lush fabulous landscape because of it, still my first concern is always the wildcats who live with us. It isn't easy weatherizing large enclosures to keep them dry, but surprisingly we make it happen. Renee and Aaron have been working their tails off finishing up the tarps before the rains come, and they've done a great job :) The wildcats are oblivious to the hard work, they just see an opportunity to try to grab an errant leg or foot as Renee climbs the 14 ft tall enclosures :) Howie, our most agile of all, even with only three legs, works diligently to catch her unaware :) Thankfully, Renee is as nimble as she is quick, leaving the wildcats amazed at how she manages to avoid their efforts! Just another day at the Sanctuary where life is good :)
WildCat Ridge is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill sanctuary located in Scotts Mills Oregon, committed to providing permanent homes for captive born wildcats. Our mission is to provide a safe, natural lifetime home for animals that should never have been bought and sold as pets. Accredited by The American Sanctuary Association, we do not buy, breed, sell or exhibit our rescues.
