Our Cats & Their Stories
picante cougar
Picante is a cougar that arrived at the rescue center at about 6 months old. She was orphaned in the wild. Cougars are hunted for sport several states, and her mother was killed in Washington. She was too young to survive on her own due to a lack of vital skills that she would have gotten from her mother if she had survived.
She had already been nicknamed, “Picante” which translates to “spicy” because of her fiery attitude. We decided to keep the name, as it fits her personality so well. Keeper staff will sometimes refer to her as “Pica,” for short.
