Meemie was found in a barn as a days-old kitten, abandoned by her mother. She was rescued and raised by a wonderful wildlife rehabilitator in NY, but due to being raised by a human, Meemie didn't develop fear of them and can't hunt on her own, so she can't be released into the wild.

Meemie was found in a barn as a days-old kitten, abandoned by her mother. She was rescued and raised by a wonderful wildlife rehabilitator in NY, but due to being raised by a human, Meemie didn't develop fear of them and can't hunt on her own, so she can't be released into the wild. The woman who saved her placed her with us for lifetime care when Meemie was 3. We are honored to give this special, quirky bobcat a home.
Manka was found abandoned as a kitten in a garden in western NY. She was rescued by Abbe-Freeland Animal Sanctuary, where she lived with another unreleasable bobcat, Preston. Unfortunately, Preston passed away, and Manka was left alone at 7 years old. Her caretakers wanted her to have a better life where she could receive more attention a
Manka was found abandoned as a kitten in a garden in western NY. She was rescued by Abbe-Freeland Animal Sanctuary, where she lived with another unreleasable bobcat, Preston. Unfortunately, Preston passed away, and Manka was left alone at 7 years old. Her caretakers wanted her to have a better life where she could receive more attention and have other bobcats around. We were thrilled to offer her a home. Manka settled in quickly and is a super sweet and happy girl. She chirps, rolls, plays in boxes, and loves her new life. We just love this girl.
Dakotah was privately owned with his mate Moxie until he was about 9 years old. Changing life circumstances caused his owner to have to rehome him and Moxie. We were happy to offer them a lifetime home. Dakotah was very bonded to his owner, and even though she was responsible in rehoming him, it's still very difficult on a cat who doesn'
Dakotah was privately owned with his mate Moxie until he was about 9 years old. Changing life circumstances caused his owner to have to rehome him and Moxie. We were happy to offer them a lifetime home. Dakotah was very bonded to his owner, and even though she was responsible in rehoming him, it's still very difficult on a cat who doesn't understand why his life changed. He enjoys his new home with trees, grass, and tons of enrichment. He is a big, handsome boy who loves to lay around all day.
Moxie came to us with Dakotah when she was 7, and has lived with him her whole life. Like Dakotah, she was purchased from a breeder when she was a kitten (before they came to us; we do not support breeding--especially of wild animals). Despite being born in captivity and being raised by humans, Moxie is as wild as they come. We don't beli
Moxie came to us with Dakotah when she was 7, and has lived with him her whole life. Like Dakotah, she was purchased from a breeder when she was a kitten (before they came to us; we do not support breeding--especially of wild animals). Despite being born in captivity and being raised by humans, Moxie is as wild as they come. We don't believe in handling the wildcats or petting them, and Moxie is a great example of why. She is a ferocious girl, who loves to stalk, hunt, growl and spit. We love that she can be her wild self here. She is the complete opposite of her mate Dakotah - with endless energy for exploring and patrolling her enclosure.
Linus came to us from the same rehabber who saved Meemie the bobcat. His rear foot was caught in a hunter's leghold trap and he lost most of it. The kind woman who saved him had to convince the person who found him not to shoot him. Likely due to this trauma, he has a lot of behavioral and litter box issues. But, we don't mind. We love g

We love giving him the life he deserves, where he never has to worry about being hurt again--and can pee wherever he wants ;)
Pixie was rescued by our local animal control officer after she and her sibling had been thrown from a car into a parking lot in the middle of Winter. Sadly, her sibling did not make it, and Pixie suffers from vision issues. Luckily our ACO is a caring person and worked with us to provide her with a lifetime of love and care. She lives in

Sadly, her sibling did not make it, and Pixie suffers from vision issues. Luckily our ACO is a caring person and worked with us to provide her with a lifetime of love and care. She lives in a special wing of the house with her buddy Yori, where she can't get hurt by falling off of anything due to her vision problems.
Gelf was surrendered to us by a family who bought him from a breeder, very quickly after they realized he liked to use the bathtub for a litterbox, and could be a little aggressive with certain people. We were happy to take him. Turns out, he will use the cover of a plastic bin for a litterbox. Sometimes you just have to get a little crea
Gelf was surrendered to us by a family who bought him from a breeder, very quickly after they realized he liked to use the bathtub for a litterbox, and could be a little aggressive with certain people. We were happy to take him. Turns out, he will use the cover of a plastic bin for a litterbox. Sometimes you just have to get a little creative. He's the funniest, sassiest cat, and the house wouldn't be the same without him. We find his quirks funny and adorable. We even had to add child safety locks to our doors because Gelf can open them.
Yori is the shyest cat we have. Beautiful and elusive, she only trusts a couple of people. She was adopted because she was deemed 'unadoptable' by a shelter - all she did was hide there. But, she is very loving and friendly to the people she trusts. She lives in a separate wing of the house with her friend Pixie, where she feels safe.
Arya and Mudra (Mudgey) are siblings who were adopted by our founder years ago. Mudgey spends his time cuddling with Arya and following Gelfy around. Unfortunately, in 2020, we found out that Arya had been going blind due to detached retinas. She's doing great though, and her quality of life hasn't decreased at all. In fact, she's even more spoiled now--as she should be!
Kang & Kodos were found dumped in a puddle. They both have cerebellar hyperplasia (CH), a neurological condition that affects motor skills. Both have trouble walking, but their quality of life isn't impacted - they don't know they're disabled! They're great cats who we are happy to provide forever care to. Due to their condition and poor
Kang & Kodos were found dumped in a puddle. They both have cerebellar hyperplasia (CH), a neurological condition that affects motor skills. Both have trouble walking, but their quality of life isn't impacted - they don't know they're disabled! They're great cats who we are happy to provide forever care to. Due to their condition and poor start in life, they will remain very small cats their whole lives.
