Build Bode, the Bobcat, a new home

Donation protected
For those who know how Bode came to Tropiquaria, skip to para 2. For those who don't he was one of 30 or so exotic cats subject to a court forfeiture order owner when his previous owner was convicted of animal neglect related offences. All these cats except for 3 who were terminally ill, have been rehomed in the UK. The original plan was that Bode would spend some time with us and then go to a rescue centre in the Netherlands. However the staff here have fallen in love with him, as it appears have many of our visitors who have seen his story on line. They all want him to stay!

Following an update on his health last night several people have contacted us to offer financial support in relation to his housing if he stays. We have an enclosure which is about the right length and height, but this will need some upgrading. The current residents, 2 raccoon dogs of a certain age - who do not need the space now that the family have left home, will need to move across the park to a more suitable residence. The total cost for this is about £3,500, but with the money already offered, through sponsorship by local businesses, and a private individual, we may manage with a bit less. If more is donated we would use the money for further environmental enrichment within the enclosure and to improve the path immediately outside.

As well as cash, donations of skilled labour, and the loan of a mini digger for half a day would also help reduce the cost and enable us to proceed with greater speed.
