It’s a busy time here at the rescue! We have been working hard to finish up projects, get ready for winter, and, of course, care for the animals.

Rainy days make my job a bit harder. Sometimes it’s difficult to get a good look at the animals on rainy days because they hide out in their den boxes and can’t be bothered to emerge. Other times, if they do come up, they are covered in mud! Though, I can’t say I mind a good roll in the mud myself sometimes.
It’s a cold and dreary day here in Pittsboro, NC. It’s 40 degrees and rainy. In fact, we haven’t seen the sun in a couple days!
Thank you to everyone who came out for our annual Last Twilight donor event on Saturday, November 3, 2018! Keeper Lauren Humphries had a lot to tell us about operant conditioning for our animals.
Hobie Serval has never lived in the wild. His species is native to Africa, but he’s never been there. He won’t ever go. The 12-year-old wild cat was formerly a pet whose family thought loving him would be enough to domesticate him. That’s hardly ever the case with pet servals.
