Tagi came to us severly scarred for life by his former owner. He must have been an ego trip for
an ignorant owner, and rather than educate herself on the proper care of a bobcat, she had him butchered as a very young cat.
How any intelligent DVM. could perform the things he did on him is beyond me. All his claws have been removed front and back,
he was neutered, and the worst thing was all his canines were ripped from his mouth. To make matters worse he was kept locked
in a 4x6 room and feed once every 2 to 3 days. On top of all that he almost died of flea anemia.
His owner could not understand why he would growl at her and act aggressive when she went to feed
him. Needless to say she got rid of him, after scarring him for life.
But he is a true survivor, and has done a complete turn around. With proper care and nutrition he
has gained weight, and lives in his cage attached to our home. He goes in and out of the house at will, he is a well mannered
boy, and has never made an aggressive move towards anyone, and always has a smile for you.

Tagi lived with us by himself for a long time. He found it hard to trust people after what had been
done to him. He would not let me touch him, but he would let me play with him, he loved to play. Then one day I recieved a
phone call asking me if I would take in another bobcat, I said yes. Bobbie came into our home, she was a four month old wild
born native bobcat. This could be the perfect thing for Tagi, a friend, one of his own kind to spend his time with. It took
weeks of slow introduction, letting them into each others territory while the others was kept in a seperate room, giving them
a chance to check out the new smells.
Tagi now leads a happy life, with proper food and vitamins he has grown and developed into a fine
boy. His rear legs are some what deformed due to improper diet when he was young. He now eats bones for much needed calcium,
and with only his back teeth he can still crush these bones. The rest of his food is cut up into bite size pieces for him,
without his canines he can not tear his food. Good nutrition has done wonders for him, and a friend to share his life with,
he is a true survivor. Through your donations we can continue to help cats like these, and give them a safe home to live out
their life. We are a 501-c-3, non-profit, and your donations are tax deductable. Help us help them.
