Serval is one of three of the African wild cats to have escaped on Vancouver Island this week
A serval that escaped from her Brentwood Bay home on Wednesday morning was captured early afternoon Friday and is now back at home relaxing with her relieved owners.A camera set up by ROAM — Reuniting Owners with Animals Missing — after neighbourhood sightings showed the cat near her crate at 9:30 a.m. Friday.
Don ran home to get her crate, prawns — her favourite food — and special toys. But the cat wasn’t interested, said Lammers, who remained near the cat. “She’s winking at me.” “I didn’t want to grab her and spook her because I wouldn’t have been able to hold her and she would have been on the run.Lammers slowly walked up behind the cat and “she trotted into her crate.” Cassia was familiar with the crate and knew that it was a safe zone.It turns out the serval had been lounging on the patio of a nearby house, where no one was home. The cat is licking her paws and Lammers will be checking them.
Cassia is one of three serval cats to have escaped on Vancouver Island this week. The other two are from an area north of Qualicum Beach. One of those two was captured while a pregnant female remains at large.
