Sidney - bobcat

Sidney's crate at animal control Sidney, a bobcat, was found living in a warehouse in downtown Minneapolis during an unrelated police raid. Prior to her release to TWS, Sidney spent 10 noisy days confined to a kennel at animal control alongside several barking dogs. At TWS, Sidney is given a much more peaceful environment surrounded by trees, grass, and several perches and dens; a much more fitting atmosphere for a bobcat.

Sidney is a beautiful girl that has won the hearts of all the TWS staff and volunteers. Since coming to TWS, Sidney has enjoyed living in her own private space. Although Sidney was perfectly happy living on her own, we thought she could be even happier living with other bobcats. In the spring of 2004, we created an opening in the shared wall between Sidney’s habitat and her bobcat neighbors. Along with giving Sidney two friends to live with, it also increased the habitat size for all three bobcats. With this new bigger living arrangement, Sidney now has the best of both worlds; she can socialize with other bobcats or she can go to another area or den for some alone time when she’s had enough of the boys.

Sidney enjoys enrichment as much as the next girl does. A simple box filled with catnip can capture her attention for hours. Sidney also enjoys spending a hot summer day by the pool.

Sidney enjoys both boxes and catnip
