2010 Update: BELLONA the BOBCAT

Bellona was struck by a car in the Tampa area almost two months ago, Big Cat Rescue was called in to see if we could rescue and help the injured bobcat. BCR staff managed to net Bellona, she was treated for injuries at Florida Veterinary Specialists and has been under the care of BCR staff ever since.

Hi, do you know hows Bellona doing in wild again? iam really curios about her :)

[BigCatRescue]

@dubinek88 There's no way of knowing, we were hoping to set up camera traps in the area but just didn't have time and Bellona is probably in a totally different area now, I hope she'd doing well and enjoying life back out in the wild where she belongs :)

[AkiranoYoru49]

So is Bellona released now? if not how is she doing? :3

[BigCatRescue]

@AkiranoYoru49 Yes, she was released in March 2011 :)

[BigCatRescue]

@catholicgamer99 Yes, that footage was shot before the fur grew back in :)

[catholicgamer99]

@BigCatRescue Is that why she doesn't have any fur on her leg anymore?

[BigCatRescue]

@catholicgamer99 No we repaired her existing leg, but a lot of metal plates/screws etc... were used. Yes all the rats are supplied by approved companies.

[catholicgamer99]

So did you give her an entirely new leg? Did you make sure that the rats don't carry diseases?
