On Sept. 14, a young mountain lion was found by a team of Butte Fire volunteers evacuating domestic animals in the area of Blossom Lane near Mokelumne Hill in Calaveras County. The young cat was walking but appeared to be emaciated and injured. The volunteers were able to capture it without much difficulty.
The lion kitten was taken to a local veterinary office and then transported by a wildlife officer to CDFW’s Wildlife Investigation Lab (WIL) in Rancho Cordova for evaluation.

The mountain lion kitten that was rescued on Sept. 13 in Calaveras County has now found a new home at a permitted restricted species facility in Central California.
Over the past week at the CDFW’s Wildlife Investigation Lab, the kitten has stabilized well and is making a good recovery. The injuries to its paws and eyes are healing, its appetite is increasing daily and bodily functions are returning to normal. Staff is hopeful for a full recovery.
At its new home, the kitten will have access to regular veterinary care and tasty food as needed.
