Makisha, a bobcat was privately owned. When the owner began having health issues they decided to find a stable home for her. Two amazing animal lovers took it upon themselves to help Makisha and her owner find a suitable sanctuary and contacted TWS. The plan was to fly her to the Sanctuary, but after two days of canceled flights, TWS staff drove to meet them in Montana. Makisha found her forever home here at the Sanctuary in 2010.

As with all of our residents, Makisha received an intake exam from Dr. John Baillie of Cedar Pet Clinic Lake Elmo. We microchipped her, performed a physical exam and X-rays as well as blood work. Her health is overall very good for a bobcat her age. She had ear mites and a severe ear infection which were treated upon intake.

Makisha is a geriatric bobcat and also has anemia.  We provide her a stress free life and hope she will be with us for years to come. Despite her age, Makisha is as playful as a kitten. She will stalk and pounce at passing caretakers, and loves to carry toys with her around her enclosure.

You can help provide daily care for Makisha by sponsoring her today.  Your support is greatly appreciated.
