Phoenix, AZ – When a Phoenix homeowner noticed a bobcat kitten in the backyard, it became clear that something was amiss. The resident’s dogs were barking at the kitten and rocks tossed lightly in her direction did nothing to prompt her to move.
According to Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center, the kitten was picked up by “Rescuer Paul,” and taken to the Southwest Wildlife Clinic to be evaluated. The veterinary team could see that she had a swollen front paw – possibly the result of a snake bite or scorpion sting that got infected.
But the prognosis is good; the bobcat is expected to be back to herself following some rest, medication, and love.

Glad someone saved this baby
It is exciting to see wildlife but no so much when they are injured. Thank goodness this one will be OK thanks to the caring people whose yard she was in.
Thanks for helping save this sweet baby & giving her a chance for a good future hopefully & is a good thing she was in the right yard at the right time & we need more heroes & angels like this who care?!!!
Hopefully it recovers as well as is being indicated but it makes you wonder what happened to the mother and how did it get there.Would be nice to get updates on the progress of this lilies girl.
