Missy comes from the wilds of
Africa. She needed a place to stay for a few weeks so we said yes.
Missy ended up staying with us for several months until a home was
found or her. She was a delight to have around. The caracal is one
of the fastest cats, with hunting skills unmatched. They can take
down more than one bird in flight at one time. Missy had a ball with
her stuffed duck and other toys, and more than once proved her
lighting fast reflexes.
Missy occupied the large
room upstairs at night, and the whole house during the day. After a
while she was moved out to the new cage that was under construction,
she started to do what caracals like to do, using soft things like
pillows and blankets for her litter box. Missy was soon moved outside to the new cage,
even though it was not completely finished, we had to make room for
yet another, Phoebe was
arriving soon and she would occupy the room upstairs until Missy
left for her new home, then Phoebe would be moved into the
cage.
 
Missy finally found a new home
after sharing ours for many months. My husband did not want to
part with her, he became very attached to her and was sad to see her
go. Missy has been bought by a breeder and sadly she is now expected
to continue her life having babies to be sold off so this breeder
can make a living off her and others like her.
She gets attention but not
like she used to and now when she has babies they are taken from her
and bottle feed so they can be sold off as pets. Poor Missy will
never know what it is like to raise a baby and bond with them. She
has become nothing more than a dollar sign for a breeder.
Missy was moved to the new
cage to make room for Phoebe who just arrived. After Missy went to
her new home, the cage was then occupied again, Phoebe then had
this cage for her home, but has since been moved to a bigger cage
and this is now the addition for the bobcats to run the overhead
walkway to. It is part of their cage now and they have both side to
run and play in now.
Missy was a people cat
and dearly loved people, even if she just met you she had a big
caracal kiss for you. Now Missy is nothing more than another
money maker for this breeder dealer. This is such a shame to have
her reduced to nothing more than a baby factory and now starving for
human contact. Expected to
produce one litter after another with no time in-between to regain
her own health back.
We would have been happy to
keep her and care for her but we were in no position to pay the
couple of thousand of dollars that was being asked for her at that
time. Now after knowing what she is expected to do I am sorry we
could not afford to keep her with us.
