Wild Cat Found Starving And Dehydrated Is A 12-Week-Old Mountain Lion Cub
If there's a phrase that rings true it's that a cat is a cat, and that includes all cats. Wild cats may not be related to domesticated cats, but cat properties and personality traits exist across the cat spectrum and that's why so many cat lovers also love wild cats.
Back in September, near Idyllwild, South California, firefighters found an orphaned 12-week-old mountain lion cub. The cub was severely dehydrated and starving, she weighed just 11 pounds, and she was hanging by a thread.
The poor baby probably got separated from her mom during the forest fires that raged in the area. But, she was lucky enough to be found by kind firefighters who immediately took her to the San Diego Humane Society.
She received the best possible care there, and now she is a thriving young mountain lion. It’s amazing how different she looks after five weeks in good hands.
