The female was located Sunday when it was found hunting ducks on a nearby farm
Laurel Bablitz said her boyfriend Bill Edwards’ servals, a male and a pregnant female, were released from their cage at his Meadowood home the morning of Oct. 1.
Servals are medium-sized, carnivorous wild cats typically found in the African Savanna. According to the African Wildlife Foundation’s website, they weigh between 19 and 40 pounds and can jump up to 1.5 metres in the air, which is how they catch their prey — usually rodents, birds, reptiles and insects.
Bablitz said the media attention around the loose servals has led to a lot of negative comments from people online. She said the original post she made to Facebook warning neighbours that the cats were loose had to be taken down when people started commenting that they would harm the cats.The Qualicum Beach wild cats are two of three servals that escaped their homes on Vancouver Island that week. On Oct. 5 a Brentwood Bay couple panicked when their serval Cassia, escaped from their home.
