Bobcat appears to be starved, injured

Neighbors and animal rescue volunteers are trying to save a bobcat on the brink of death. They stumbled into Merilee Hanson’s Rockledge backyard on Tuesday. She noticed it looked it was starving, and its leg was severely fractured. The bobcat eluded rescuers for two days, but they haven’t given up. The Wild Florida Rescue team says finding the injured animal in the Pine Cove neighborhood is like finding a needle in a haystack. Volunteers set out new traps with fresh food and will check them on Thursday. Neighbors want to see the bobcat out of its misery.
