These two may look like domestic house cats, but they are actually a pair of Scottish wildcats that reside @scottishwildcathaven. Unlike most cats, the Scottish wildcat is a multi-habitat hunter - a behavior that has evolved in response to severe deforestation in its home range. This carnivore plays an important role in controlling the numbers of prey animals such as rabbits, rats, hares and other small animals. Today, the biggest threat to this species is hybridization with feral cats. In an attempt to prevent hybridization from occurring, Wildcat Haven has secured over 1000 square miles of safe habitat for the Scottish wildcat by humanely trapping feral cats, neutering them, and releasing them. With the support of the local community, this work has been helping the Scottish wildcat to thrive over the last decade and efforts will continue on for years to come.
