Several soaking wet and windblown animals were taken to the Atlantic Wildlife Institute in southeastern New Brunswick when tropical storm Lee blew through the region.
Among those rescued were a few squirrels, a chipmunk and a hummingbird, according to Pam Novak, the director of wildlife at the rehabilitation centre near Sackvlle.
But there was one clear standout — a tiny bobcat kitten — who Novak estimates is only about one month old.
Still laughing over this description …
“Pointy little piranha teeth”
🤣🤣
“an unusual kitten trying to climb up their leg”—thus proving that, wild animal or no, Lee is still very much a cat. 🤣
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Several soaking wet and windblown animals were taken to the Atlantic Wildlife Institute in southeastern New Brunswick when tropical storm Lee blew through the region.
Among those rescued were a few squirrels, a chipmunk and a hummingbird, according to Pam Novak, the director of wildlife at the rehabilitation centre near Sackvlle.
But there was one clear standout — a tiny bobcat kitten — who Novak estimates is only about one month old.
Weighing in at just 759 grams, or 1.6 pounds, the kitten won’t be ready for release until spring.
A ranger from Dieppe’s Department of Natural Resources office contacted her to say a nearby resident was outside in the Jolicure area during the storm feeding stray cats when they noticed an unusual kitten trying to climb up their leg.
Novak decided that, as the most unique arrival at the centre during the post-tropical storm, the bobcat kitten needed a special name.
