Click here if you need help with PDF. One of the last echoes of America's true wilderness is clawing to hang on. A report from the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) illustrates why North America's wild cats are joining the ranks of wolves and grizzly bears as top predators quickly disappearing from our nation's landscape, leaving behind natural systems that are imbalanced and vulnerable. As part of NWF's ongoing effort to "Keep the Wild Alive," Endangered Cats of North America takes a comprehensive look at the different wild cat species and the most pressing threats to their survival. It is the first report of its kind to fully analyze cat populations across the U.S. The map below shows the distribution of cats in the lower 48 states. Click on your state to find out more about the cats that live there. "Conserving North America's cats is integral to protecting the continent's wildlife heritage and to saving many of the pristine wild places they call home," says NWF's Elizabeth Murdock, chief author of the report.

Uncle Mal's Personal Tribute to Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County Uncle Mal with Smokie Photo scanning by Big Dave Uncle Mal has been an active volunteer for Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County since its beginning joining immediately after he looked out of his bedroom window one day in April 1990 and saw three abandoned mama cats with each three tiny kittens playing in his garden. These 12 cats are now part of his happy family of about 20 "children" he cares for, including Smokie, Sweetie, Mamma, Baby, Spunky, Fluffy, Greedy, Vince, Pumpkin, Goofy, Grandma, Blackie, Rusty, Spot, Grandpa, Pinky, Kitty, and Misty. Other critters, such as opossums, raccoons and dogs, also know that they'll always find fresh food and clean water on this two-legged sucker's back porch. He computerized FFSC operations, maintains the database of members, typesets business forms and prints labels, used to print the newsletter, has trapped and fostered feral cats, and for the past five years has spent one day a week at the shelter cleaning, and playing with his beloved pussies. Uncle Mal is one of the few token males of this almost exclusively female group of dedicated and selfless volunteers. Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County Forgotten Felines is a nonprofit organization founded in 1990 and based in Santa Rosa, California. This all-volunteer group is dedicated to the care and control of the feral cat population. FFSC's 800 members, supporters and volunteers have helped prevent the birth of well over one hundred thousand homeless cats.

Responsible Captive Breeding of Wild Felines N.O.A.H. Feline Conservation Center practices responsible captive husbandry of wild felines. We trade and work with other dedicated facilities and concerned individuals. We abide by state laws that regulate ownership of wild felines. We actively encourage the creation and expansion of suitable captive habitat, but we always keep in mind that private ownership carries with it tremendous responsibilities to the animals in our care and to society. But we believe that those who do it right, should have the right to do it We currently selectively breed five species of feline - African Servals and Caracals, Southern Bobcats, South American Geoffroy's Cats and Canadian Lynx. We sell their hand-reared offspring to facilities that will enhance the species' survival or to knowledgeable individuals who will increase the public's appreciation of these intelligent and loving creatures. Hand raised felines are ambassadors. Their presence among us helps to remind us of the plight of their cousins, struggling to survive in nature. When people meet our felines this often inspires a change in their attitude towards wildlife and then in turn helps insure survival of all predators in the wild.

Feline Conservation Federation's Wild Feline Husbandry Course a Big Success! Article published in the Mena Star December 11th, 2002 service, and local Arkansas Game and Fish law enforcement officers Jimmy Martin and Lt. Bonner from the Crawford Co area. The audience included a wide mix of captive husbandry interests. A licensed educational exhibitor flew in from California. Prospective wild cat owners wishing to obtain more husbandry knowledge flew in from Massachusetts and others drove from Illinois and Nebraska. Also in attendance were wild feline sanctuary owners from Louisiana, Alabama and North Carolina, breeders and pet owners from Texas, Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Kentucky and Missouri and a commercial importer/exporter from Indiana. Rudy Timmerman of the Rich Mountain Community College was on hand to video the event and interview those attending. The RMCC cable TV channel will air highlights of the Exotic Feline Husbandry Course at a later date. The Feline Conservation Federation is an international organization which has been in existence for nearly 50 years. It began as the Long Island Ocelot Club. Last year the membership voted to change the name to the Feline Conservation Federation. This course was developed to improve the captive husbandry of wild felines and increase the compliance with state and federal regulations governing possession of these animals. FCF has been putting on this course across the county for the past four years. The N.O.A.H. Feline Conservation Center agreed to host this event and share our community with those who arrived from afar.

Home About FFF Feral Cats Help FFF ... Archives Feral Cats What are feral felines? Feral felines are domestic cats turned wild. Some were born and raised feral. Some began life as family pets but, abandoned by cruel or ignorant people, were forced to survive on their own. How do they live? Males roam across dangerous highways in search of mates. Females spend their lives pregnant and unable to care for their young, watching their babies die year after year. If even a little food can be found, they will reproduce, and many more kittens are born into a world that cannot sustain them. Ferals no longer desire human contact. They sleep in the cold rain, huddled together for warmth. In the hot sun, they constantly search for food and water. They exist in colonies anywhere food can be located—near dumpsters, parks, or farms. This is the life of the reclusive feral cat. Why save feral colonies?

71. Look Out: Cats felines, The cats in lots. The first generation was the more typical,in which lazy, contented cats occasionally went wild. The present http://www.lookoutnow.com/feline/feline.htm

Felines The cats in my household have been in two distinct generations, with a gap of a few years between the lots. The first generation was the more typical, in which lazy, contented cats occasionally went wild. The present generation are wild, wild animals who occasionally are contented. Pumpkin bids good night. Of course, the first generation had the benefit of Pumpkin, who from the age of six months ruled the household and who was everything one might hope to find in a pet. Every night she would give me a special "good night" by sitting on my chest and staring at me and giving a pet or two on my chin while I stared at her. After several minutes, she was content to go sleep on the foot of the bed. The second generation began one day when Sue decided that the presently catless household should be catified. Instant gratification necessitated going to a pet shop, in which Muffin was found; however, rather than the happy little friend that we hoped for, the kitten Muffin disappeared in the dark recesses of the bedroom and no amount of coaxing could bring her out. While discussing this new problem of how to get the kitten to act like a kitten, Sue and I saw a small, dark shape zoom into sight, smack a small ball that we were trying to lure her with earlier, and then disappear again. The trick to seeing Muffin was to play with her. When playing, Muffin is happy; otherwise, she's the shyest animal in the world.

Art Attack Domestic Housecat Wild Things - Cat Overview There are more than 500 million domestic cats in the world, with 33 different breeds, which is too many to list. More than 35,000 kittens are born in the US alone each year, which is why it's important to spay or neuter your cat (get it fixed so it can't have kittens.) Did you know that 25 percent of cat owners blow dry their cat after a bath? Brief History Cats first became pets in Egypt around 4000 BC but they had to work for their livelihood by getting rid of rodents and unwanted waste. When these beloved pets died, owners shaved off their eyebrows and then mummified their cat so it could be buried with them when they died. The goddess of love and fertility in Egypt was a cat named Bastet. During the 15th century, cats weren't considered pets and the Pope considerd all cat lovers to be witches - and they were burned. Black cats are now considered symbols of luck by Europeans. Over time, several wild species became domestic house cats A Mackarel Tabby Named Spike.

Wild Feline Rescue About the organization In May, 1993, Margaret McLaughlin, Carol Leither, Dr. Rick Leither, and Trudy Decker left the Humane Society and established this non-profit approved organization in hopes of controling feline overpopulation and prevent unnecessary euthanasia. Wild Feline Rescue is based in Crescent City, California and has approximately 100 volunteers in Del Norte County to assist in the efforts of the organization. Volunteers have myriad jobs: foster homes for ready-to-adopt cats and kittens, printing or writing forms, brochures, adoption contracts, etc., doing laundry, repairing clothes for the thrift store, medicating or treating animals, cleaning up after the felines, and the Doctor volunteers his services to spay/neuter and treat the felines. Yeah, but what do they do? Wild Feline Rescue captures stray cats of any age or domesticity. Every cat or kitten obtained by the organization are spayed/neutered, dewormed, vaccinated, tested for Feline Leukemia (and sometimes Feline Immunodeficiency Virus if the cat is from a high risk area or conditions), treated for earmites, and given any other medical treatment when needed. Often times, the stray cats are not tame enough to capture and must be tamed slowly. When this occurs, a trained member of W.F.R. will repeatedly visit the habitat of the feral animal and feed it on a routine basis in order to build trust. If the cat does not become tame enough to handle, it is trapped, treated and spayed or neutered, then re-released into its habitat if that location is a safe environment for the cat and people in the area. Those wild felines that become tame enough to touch are treated, spayed or neutered, and then taken into a foster home for further human contact until it becomes tame enough to adopt out.

77. Cougar Mauls Cherry Hill Woman Anytime someone who is involved with captive wild felines is injured, everyonein the exotic animal world is deeply affected, said Culver. http://www.bigcats.org/abc/attacks/cherryhill.html

Report from Ben Willis Cougar mauls Cherry Hill woman From a US mailing list, post by Lyn Culver, April 2002 A Cherry Hill woman, Christine Lee, 36, remains in Mena Medical Center in stable condition after being bitten on the upper and lower arm by a newly-purchased adult cougar on Monday night. According to her husband, Robert, Lee entered the cage while the cougar was feeding and it attacked her. "She got in there with him and she got bit twice on the arm, "said Mr. Lee. "We purchased the cat Sunday from a man in Horatio, who had three or four big cats. This one was originally a wild one but was hurt and nursed back to health, then kept in captivity for about five years. "My sister had one and I had been around them before," he continued. "My wife saw the ones in Horatio and wanted one so I bought it. It got away the first night we got it home (Sunday) but didn't go far and we tranquilized it and brought it back to the cage. The next night it got a hold of my wife when she went in the cage." Arkansas Game and Fish Officer Phillip Abernathy said a 911 call came in about 6:25 Monday night. "The First Responders and the Ambulance crew were there when I arrived, and they were caring for the woman in the ambulance," said Abernathy. "We believe a combination of alcohol and inexperience played a significant role in this incident. I highly recommend that if you intend to keep an animal like this, you get some professional training before bringing it home. I believe this kind of incident is one of the reasons we have big feral cats in Arkansas. People buy these creatures and find out that they're not as compatible or as wonderful as they thought, and they end up releasing them into the wild rather than finding appropriate homes for them."

78. House Cats Controlling Nuisance Felines Pets can act as a bridge between a rabid wild animal and a person, acquiringthe virus through a bite and then bringing the virus into the household. http://www.wildlifedamagecontrol.com/housecats.htm

Cats Felis catus House cats are a major problem throughout the U.S. Even before they became the country's most popular pets, domesticated cats have been pillaging and ravaging our wildlife resources for many years. Estimates are that house cats kill and injure millions upon millions of wildlife every year. They are also implicated in being partially responsible for the decline in song bird populations. If you think that your cat is an effective mouser click here (mouse control) to see why he isn't. Feral Cats Feral Cats, which is just another way of calling regular house cats that are let outside, kill a surprising number of animals. Okay, so that statement is isn't entirely accurate. I received an e-mail that criticized me for the aforementioned definition. Here is hers, "They are cats that are not socialized to humans. They are either abandoned cats that have grown to fear humans (semi-feral), or the offspring of abandoned domestic cats, who have a natural fear of people (feral)." True enough and I want to thank her for the constructive if not gracious criticism. But I do want to emphasize that with cats every cat is owned until something bad happens and then the cat is called a stray. While this is an over simplication, I have seen it happen. "Owners" deny ownership of the feline when they think there is trouble and then claim ownership when they want to stop someone from controlling the cats.

80. Wild Cats In Carolina of North Carolina faculty job in 1975 to follow his real love studying tigers,jaguars, and other large felines whose survival was threatened in the wild. http://www.discover.com/mar_01/featcats.html

DISCOVER Vol. 22 No. 3 (March 2001) Table of Contents Wild Cats in Carolina By Barry Yeoman Photographs by Harry Benson Fleet-footed caracals are able to chase down gazelles and knock birds from the air, but to African and Asian farmers, they are merely crop-destroying pests. Laudable as that mission sounds, not every wildlife conservationist has embraced it. That's because the Carnivore Preservation Trust has upended scientific orthodoxy, defiantly dissenting from the principles and methods used by most zoos to raise and breed animals in captivity. While mainstream animal conservationists adhere to the doctrine of having mothers raise their own litters, the trust follows a policy of raising young carnivores by human hand. And while most scientists believe in keeping subspecies lines as pure as possible, the trust intentionally disregards those lines, creating "generic" animals not found in nature. The Carnivore Preservation Trust grew out of the personal passion of the late Michael Bleyman, a gray-bearded geneticist who left his University of North Carolina faculty job in 1975 to follow his real love: studying tigers, jaguars, and other large felines whose survival was threatened in the wild. His interests were only partly academic. "Mike was a scientist who had a strong interest in wildcats, and he wanted to save those cats," recalls Wildt. "But he also liked the excitement of having a 500-pound Siberian tiger in his backyard." A baby ocelot gets a careful checkup from veterinarian Anneke Moresco and vet tech Laurie Chafey (left) and is bottle-fed by keeper Kathryn Bertok (right).
