ANOTHER MAGNIFICENT WILDCAT- ENJOY 😻

Hi All

Thanks a lot for your continuing kind words and messages. We are working flat out on the legal work, but we are also expanding our field work sites and are continuously following up leads. We are delighted to show this new wildcat again found in Aberdeenshire and in another new location. It looks in magnificent condition and is going about it’s business in the early hours of the morning. We have multiple videos of it but in the one above, you can clearly see the beautiful body striping, the head stripes and of course  that thick, ringed, blunt tail. It’s another cracker and it is always exhilarating to see them wild and free.

Thanks to our continually growing number of community volunteers, we are proving beyond doubt that the Scottish Wildcat IS NOT FUNCTIONALLY EXTINCT. They are still out there and they are breeding. After the Clashindarroch hearing we will have even more capacity to increase our field work efforts, so there is a very exciting autumn and winter ahead.

This beautiful wildcat was captured on camera by Matthew. Of course, we won’t give out his full name for obvious reasons but he wanted us to relay this message to you all. He wanted us to tell you that he is autistic and that he is using the skills and abilities that this brings, to focus his efforts on helping us to find wildcats. He is proving very adept indeed and is a key asset to us and we are delighted to be working with him. He also explained to us how working to find wildcats, brings him calm, peace and purpose. Amen to that.

Scottish wildcats are magical animals and they attract magical people. We are very proud to be a grass roots, community driven organisation that is totally inclusive. Indeed, this is what brings us such success.

We hope you all enjoy seeing yet another magnificent wildcat prowling the Highlands under the veil of darkness, unaware of the light that it brings.

 Many thanks as always

Emily and the Wildcat Haven Team.
