Lee, a bobcat kitten rescued during post-tropical storm Lee in New Brunswick's Jolicure area, will be cared for at the Atlantic Wildlife Institute until next spring.
The bobcat kitten arrived at the Atlantic Wildlife Institute weighing in at just 759 grams, or 1.6 pounds.
Among those rescued were a few squirrels, a chipmunk and a hummingbird, according to Pam Novak, the director of wildlife at the rehabilitation centre near Sackvlle. Novak said it's unusual for bobcats to be born so late in the year, and just as surprising is the way the bobcat was found. While the kitten is "a handful," Novak says she is in good shape with no parasites. There was no sign of the mother, but she suspects the kitten couldn't have been on her own for very long.Novak decided that, as the most unique arrival at the centre during the post-tropical storm, the bobcat kitten needed a special name.
