Rescuing a Bobcat Kitten

[@cary7261]

The seizures were maybe the reason moma left her. Thank you for showing up on her last days giving her water and cuddles

[@roseinwinter1]

The poor baby. 😢 At least she felt love for a little while.

[@d.v.t]

:( came from tiktok. That was such a cute baby

[@ambidextrous-REX]

I came over from tik tok to see the rest of Banjos story… I was wondering why she may have been left on that road alone & then you mentioned she had seizures. I wonder if the momma sensed this & that’s why she abandoned the baby (Banjo). I’m happy she wasn’t alone & got some love near the end! ❤️

[@catgolfer1]

Abandoned by the mother. Nature has cruel ways of separating survival of the fittest. Bless you for finding this cat.😸

[@heatherdelias8168]

The ending broke my heart ❤️

[@mindymitchell54]

I lost a kitten I tried rescuing. It was the first cat I had to put down. I lost my shit bad. It was really hard. You are a kind soul and bless you for doing your best. He didn’t have to be alone in the end.

[@dmhandy]

I am glad you filled the cub's life with love before it passed away.

[@danjones3402]

At least she spent her last days with some loving people 🙏

[@Happylilbeaks]

Aww sad ending but glad she knew love at the end instead of passing alone and starving

[@GrahamCam]

Awww. Sad ending but definitely a sweet story. Poor baby.

[@barbarakozlowski2642]

AWWW, IM SO SORRY HE DIDNT MAKE IT😪😪😪😪 I'm very happy you did rescue him from a horrible death. Maybe the mom abandoned him for this reason. I wish they could of helped him with medication. God Bless you for loving him at first sight and giving him a chance to know love even though it was not his mama. 💔💔💔

[@commonsense2680]

This is why I can only watch Dodo because it usually has happy endings. My heart just broke at the end!!!! :(

[@BugnerOutdoors]

I know! I got attached so quickly and I was heartbroken!

[@hilohaw]

I wonder if momma bobcat abandoned her because she witnessed seizures. Nature can be cruel, but apparently the momma's instincts were solid, if my guess is correct.

[@oldigger7060]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@danmyers9372]

Yeah, several others had the same thought.

[@BugnerOutdoors]

Yea that is what I think as well. At least the sweet baby got to be comfortable in her last few days

[@ooflord702]

The mother Bobcat saw this as weakness, as with most wildlife, almost all of babies born with some kind of weakness are abandoned or straight up ignored like with some birds, weak babies either just die in the nest, abandoned nearby or the mom kills it. Squirrels just kick their weak babies out their nest hoping the fall will kill it.

You did the proper thing stewarding a life and trying to preserve life. That is the true purpose of being,human existence. I commend you,and thank you for the example to all.

[@robertvalderaz7329]

We found what we though was a tiny baby kitten as well. Still had it's Eyes closed. By the side of a busy road. So we turned around stopped and took it home. Later to realize it was a baby bob cat faral cat mix or hybrid. We bottle feed it and raised it. He is 6 months old and bigger than a full grown house cat. Though he has a long tail. He has the hind legs, and large paws, the ears and facial including the large nose. We call him buzz. Because of his activness. He has the ears of a bobcat and markings , and does not meow, he gurgles and purrs are extremely loud. He gets along with our sheppard husky mix, Rio. One thing for certain he lives beef and not fish or sea food. All he wants is cat beef and gravey. He is an outstanding hybrid and has no fear. But sure loves to play.

poor baby omg😢😢😢😢😢 im so sad baby died but God loves it forever and isnin heaven now😢😢💔🥺thank you for loving the baby❤❤❤

[@daracbanger9263]

Everytime i hear a kitten died a part of me dies too 😭 Ty for giving your best with that adorable lil fluffy😿

[@ooflord702]

I rescued a bobcat kitten 6 years ago, he's now 50 pounds, pretty much a jumbo sized cat. He's loving and affectionate. He can "woof" like a dog. He can be a jerk also.

[@reina8301]

You're a jerk for not taking him to a wildlife center.

[@jakeblack6128]

@@reina8301 fair trade then by that statement

[@kalibryant8608]

@@reina8301 why? So they can keep it in a cage so people can pay money to go look at it? Stupid comment.

[@sarawhite9679]

Do a update video how big he got

[@katrinabenavides1006]

What did u feed him?

[@glennandrews7689]

Sad to see this story, maybe by serendipity, on youtube. I had a bobcat that I found in a burned tree as a kitten, post a forest fire in Central Calif; his name was Teddy. He lived a great life with us/me and grew up to a ripe old age and had many outdoor adventures (akin to some of the other bobcat, lynx, panther and mountain lion vids you can see on youtube). I love to flyfish and he would always accompany me on long hiking and camping trips - never running off but staying with his "family" (I had a dog and a domestic cat that came too). Your nice little bob' kitten was likely abandoned by it's mother when she experienced the kitten's seizures. Nature seems cruel at times but it is consistent, if anything. So happy you took action to give it comfort.

[@danmyers9372]

I was thinking the same thing. The mother rejected the kitten.

[@BugnerOutdoors]

aww that's such a sweet story! I think you are right about what happened to this kitten

[@nomorecensoringme]

Not a great story since it's illegal to own a bobcat in CA as a pet. They're an apex predator. Not a pet. You were lucky not to have been injured by it. Talk to the woman who had her face ripped off by her friend's chimp.

[@tinagarza9713]

I’m glad you rescued that sweet baby and you gave it love. That is why it’s mamma abandoned it, because of its health issues.

[@miroslavzima8856]

My wild guess is that momma knew that kitten wasn´t healthy and just left him. If this is is the case, I wouldn´t look at it as story with bad ending. Kitten wasn´t alone, hungry and in cold. Was with somebody who took care of him. That doesn´t mean im in tears now, year ago I found little kitten who couldn´t eat and was left alone. Luckily, I knew someone in shelter and the kitten took 14 days to recover. I can tell you, this was the longest 14 in my life and I couldn´t even sleep. Now she is happy cat :) Just wanted to give you something with happy ending :)

[@jillward537]

I heard about the kitten from Roger. He is our neighbor. I am so sorry it didn't survive. But thankful for the love you gave!!

[@danjones3402]

Oh wow 🙏

Beautiful little precious ... if only she’d made it😢😭

[@chanmanthegreat1429]

I have enough negativity in my life and then I hear stories like this when the poor baby kitten couldn't be saved and it died without its mommy. It hurts my heart so bad I can't take it. It ruins my day

[@lizziebakeoven3225]

The kitten wasn't alone in a field it was surrounded in love with people who cared and tried their best to help it survive. There's beauty within the sadness

[@lydiapetra1211]

That's why momma abandoned her... thanks beautiful young lady for showing her lotsa love....and getting help for her... you ladies rock!❤️💗😻😻

Was so heartbroken, I wanted to follow till the sad news!. Yeh, thanks for being so kind to it in its last days!., I fear it was lost and alone for a long time before you came along 😭. May God reward you with it as a Companion in the here after 💝😻

[@reneesongs72]

Possibly the mother abandoned her because she was having seizures. The weakest of the litter is often discarded. So sad. Thank you for showing it kindness in it’s very short time here.

[@glowstar76]

Oh no I was not ready for that ending. You got to warn people. Gosh now I’m crying….poor little sweet pea 😢😢😢

[@brocksamson3282]

that bobcat kitten is way more tame than the feral kittens I took in. i had to use a trap to catch them. even with 11 years of socializing they are still shy around others (not me though, thankfully).

[@Wayman_Simmang]

God bless for saving this baby!!

[@MizzMamaJane]

The seizure disorder is probably why the mama abandoned it. At least you gave it a better end to its life.

[@musicforaarre]

Thank you for loving her while you could. Aarre Peltomaa

[@Tara_P_Rose]

I would’ve been so scared about the momma coming up & pouncing on me in the beginning! You’re brave!! I’m glad you waited to make sure she wasn’t coming back before rescuing baby, & thank God you were there otherwise it wouldn’t have survived on it’s own… sooo cute when they’re babies! Beautiful as adults too of course! 💕💕💕

[@myhollymonster]

I think it's common for mama cats to abandon a kitten when they know it's unhealthy and could potentially affect the health of the litter mates. You're so kind to have given this baby love in her final days. Such a heartbreaking conclusion to this story. 💔

[@j.son_01]

I love this so much.

[@mjremy2605]

This is not normal behavior for wild cat even this age. It should be hissing at you with a high energy level. Something is seriously wrong. He looks dehydrated and disoriented and stumbling when walking. When they appear this tame, they are very sick already. Poor little thing. Thank you for your care and concern. Very sad he did not make it.

[@traekas7228]

Yeah. There’s something wrong with this Bobcat kitten, poor thing. I don’t believe that his MamaCat would’ve abandoned him if he were healthy. That’s too bad. Poor baby! But, TYSM for giving the kitten some gentle, loving comfort while you could. You’ll pardon me if I don’t want to watch the rest of his decline.

[@dude...are-you-sure]

It's adorable)e. It's lucky to have been going by you and received the love that it did. I think it's mom abandoned it because of the health issues it had. Rip

[@ManuelMagnani-jf3qr]

Bellissimi questi felidi❤

[@grwrn39]

I could tell something was wrong with the kitten even before you stated it didn't survive. His pupils were very constricted in one of the still pics in the video. At least you made it very comfortable in the end.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

At least it dis not pass in pain, hunger and fear like it would have :( still heartbreaking

[@bradpotter6401]

Wild mamal babies have this trait of throwing caution to the wind and accepting help from humans when they are abandoned by their mothers. I've personally seen it happen with deer and squirrels.

[@let_your_weird_light_shine_2.0]

Oh what a sad ending...poor thing. Probably why the Mum abandoned it.

[@micpar2]

AAAAWWWW So sad what a beautiful kitten and kind lady. The mother cat must of known it was sick and wasn't going to survive. That's why she left, make you wonder. Was it exposed to some kind of chemicals? Same with the mother also.

[@rebecca8525]

Looks and sounds just like a little house cat

[@KatherineRoseArt]

I'd be concerned it was rabies given the lack of fear and seizures. Mom may have passed it to kittens and died of it leaving kittens alone. Poor little thing.

[@selcukakyuz_marcom]

That's why her mom had abandoned her in the first place. So sad :(

[@tjrox6367]

Do you think that the Mom left it behind because she knew there was something wrong? I always wonder about that..

[@jackm6307]

Look how tame he is after just meeting you. Kind of destroys all the bull we've been told about them having to be bred for thousands of years by humans in order to get the wild out of them, like domestics have been. This guy is as tame as a domestic kitten and likely has never been close to or maybe have never even seen a human. That's so cool. Actually, my domestic was born away from my brothers house, and they were wild as they could be. Took 3 days staying in my bedroom to go from wild, to sleeping on top of me... another reason not to believe the aforementioned myth unless we believe that thousands of years of breeding was removed in 3 days, plus, those wild domestic kittens would never have been wild at all if the myth were true.

[@danawhite1177]

Heavenly father sent you there to rescue that baby bobcat

[@hildaacosta1684]

UNIVERSO LOS BENDICE🥰

[@Tara_P_Rose]

That could be the reason the momma left, because they know if a baby is sick or has a disability & they sadly abandon them when they’re like that, so she probably knew it suffered from seizures or had brain problems. (If it had it at that time, that is) I say “it” because I don’t know if it’s male or female.

[@BugnerOutdoors]

I know she gave her IV fluids to help with the dehydration and she also took her to a vet that treats wildlife but I'm not sure if they gave her any meds

[@famalam943]

Maybe the reason she was abandoned, the mother could tell she wasn’t going to make it. Poor thing
