Tucker, the orphaned bobcat rescued by Langley香蕉视频直播檚 (CCWS), is doing well, but he will need new, larger, accommodations as he grows bigger.

The starving cub was believed to be 10 to 11 weeks old when he was discovered by the side of the road in Grand Forks in early July, severely underweight at 600 grams.

Construction material is estimated at more than $85,000, plus the expense of heating pads, syringes for feeding, bedding, medicines, laundry, and a supply of special food.

To help pay for it, the wild animal rehab centre has launched a sponsorship campaign online at .

For $35, donors who help Tucker by formally sponsoring him will receive a tax receipt for their charitable donation, and a certificate which contains a photo of the cub.

The sponsor drive will run until Sept. 15, or while quantities last, with all proceeds going directly to the the cost of Tucker香蕉视频直播檚 rescue, rehabilitation, enclosure construction and his eventual release back into the wild.

After Tucker was discovered, volunteers drove the critically ill cub from Grand Forks to Osoyoos, while Critter Care staff headed up to meet them, where the mayors of Osoyoos and Rossland attended the handoff.

Two Critter Care staffers worked 15 hours straight on the rescue, including driving four hours each way.

Tucker latched onto a bottle of formula on the way back, clearly starving.
