What african servals cat was found in Arizona?”
On Wednesday night, people driving through Tucson’s Catalina Foothills saw a cat that seemed quite out of place. While Southern Arizona does have its share of wild cats, including mountain lions and bobcats (not to mention the UA football team!), this one was clearly not native. It turned out to be an African Serval cat, which as its name suggests is native to Africa. The animals are brought or bred here to breed with domestic cats to produce Savannah cat offspring. The beautiful brown spotted animal was tranquilized and brought to the Tucson Wildlife Center, a non-profit sanctuary and rehabilitation center. Officials there say they are not able to keep it permanently, as they only care long-term for native animal species. She was dehydrated and in shock, and may not have made it through the night if not brought to the center, but is now doing well. The Serval was most likely someone’s pet, as she has been well cared for. She is missing a rear leg that was surgically removed. Lisa Bate
