Stray house cat nurses orphaned bobcat kittens at Tampa’s Big Cat Rescue
Sweet story!

The fuzzy, brown bobcats may have smaller ears and shorter tails than domestic kittens, but when their soft, high-pitched mews ring out, Bobbi the black-and-white house cat doesn’t seem to notice the difference.
She licks the three baby bobcats, then rolls over so they can nurse. Because of this adoptive mama, the orphaned bobcats now have a chance at life in the wild.
It all started Friday, when Tampa’s Big Cat Rescue got a call from an Alabama veterinarian seeking help for newborn bobcats that a hunter dropped off. The vet believed the hunter shot their mother, and the staff was concerned for the safety of the kittens, whose eyes were still closed.
