“We are not sure of this cute little guy’s background. In the last week of November 2021, someone contacted us about a very friendly and hungry baby bobcat who had just been found. Jacob was so friendly to humans that it was clear he had been kept as a pet before being found. He had probably either escaped or been abandoned by his previous owners. Because of his friendly and sweet nature, Jacob was not a candidate for rehabilitation and release so we brought him home to In-Sync.”
