State wildlife officials retrieved the cub, which was in poor health and appeared to be orphaned, on Monday and brought the animal to Oakland Zoo for care.
Veterinary staff at the Oakland Zoo and state wildlife officials are closely monitoring the condition of a female mountain lion cub who was found at a home in Santa Cruz.
“After waiting to see if the cub’s mother would return and based on the cub’s poor condition, they made the decision to bring the cub to us,” zoo officials said in a statement. Holly continued to received intensive care, zoo staff said. Her blood work showed slight improvement Tuesday but the cub wasn’t standing or moving around much.
The residents took pictures of the cub and sent them to state wildlife officials, Paglia said. After reviewing the photos, department staff decided the cub was probably orphaned and it would not be wise to leave her out longer to see if her mother returned.Department staff set up trail cameras meant to go off if the mother lion returns, but as of Wednesday evening the mother hadn’t been spotted, he said.
