We are on call 24/7 across the US rescuing bobcats, canada Lynx, other smaller exotic felids, and domestic breeds with high euthanasia rates that tend to have perceived or apparent physical concerns. With your Continued support, we empower, inspire and educate students, enabling them to overcome hardships and achieve personal growth while saving the lives of both domestic and wild cats at risk.

First Let'sDiscover
LBR is constantly learning new and exciting techniques to better care for wild, and domestic differently-ABLED cats in the least stressful environment, while pro bono sharing our collective research over the last 12 years with other permitted and licensed rehabilitators, wildlife government agencies throughout the US and Canada, animal control providers and veterinarians who work with rescuing bobcats! * It's why we've been featured on Emmy award winning The Wildlife Docs, Nat Geo Wild, Animal Planet and Destination America, along with numerous broadcast and print stories, even the Washington Post, ABC and USA Today. People can't seem to hear enough about our US felids and the exciting rescue stories we've shared, thanks to your support.

Now let's WORKConserve
Conservation and education , along with community involvement is the essential key to open communication for understanding about species when some fear the unknown or through old generational myths that are proven false. We seek to change that mindset. With most wildcats on the CITES list as threatened or endangered, it creates a serious opportunity for US wildcats to be exploited for their fur through exportation to countries with high demand for it: China , Russia and Japan.With your help sharing and caring, we'd like our US indigenous felids to be around for future generations in the wild, not just as photos on the internet.

IT'S UP TO USChange
With your support of our Student Science Based Education Program, ( Wild Comes with Class), Abandoned Bobcat/Lynx Kitten Program (AKP), and the "ABLED Kitty" Program, we hope to change misperceptions of students and animals who are faced with apparent or invisible disabilities and challenges. With your help, together we empower youth who feel encouraged and inspired to make a difference in their homes, schools, and communities by these rescues who view themselves as "Abled, not disabled," while saving lives and providing and encouraging propagation of the species.
