Rehabilitated bobcat finds freedom again

Early in June, Daniel Pierce was biking along the Sawyer Camp trail above Crystal Springs Reservoir (near Burlingame) when he was startled to come upon a bobcat kitten along the wayside. The tiny animal was weak, starving, possibly sick and could barely stand. Daniel was worried that the kitten was orphaned and might die if not rescued. He quickly called several local wildlife centers for advice on how to handle the situation and was told to contact the Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center in Morgan Hill because WERC is nationally renowned for rehabilitating orphaned bobcat kittens.
