A missing serval near Qualicum Beach has remained at large since Sunday, but there's new hope after another sighting.
The search for a missing pregnant exotic cat near Qualicum Beach has stretched into another day but its owners have new hope in finding it.
Just after 6:15 a.m., local Debbie Grundmann let her dogs and cats into her backyard and realized something was amiss. “The cat was running back in the yard. We were trying to corner it, no luck. [It] jumped over the fence to our neighbours here and it’s kind of been in this bush. We’ve spotted it a couple times,” Grundmann said.“It’s a scary thing when you have animals and small kids,” Grundmann added.
The male, Tumaz, was caught that day but the female remains at large. The serval’s owner returned to the location of Luna’s last sighting on Thursday to set a trap.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.“She’s getting hungry. I think she’s eating rabbits, but this is her favourite food and that’s what we’ve loaded the trap with, so I think we’re going to get her today,” Bill Edwards said.
