🎙️ Saving Scotland's Wildcats: A Conservation Comeback Don't miss the Community Cats Podcast with field officer, Lara Semple 🐈 Lara shares how the team are managing the threats to Scotland's wildcats to "preserve their legacy" ➡️ communitycatspodcast.com/episode-624-la… 🎧

Guess the kittens' out the bag (or den)! Visitor David Stothard sent us his beautiful image of a wildcat kitten born to one of the released females. Public sightings crucially support the monitoring of the Cairngorms National Park's growing population ➡️ savingwildcats.org.uk/haveyouseenawi…

Counting kittens 🐾 Wildcats typically have between two-four kittens once per year. That said, it's not unusual for females to have larger litters, breed twice in a season, or even raise a single kit 🧡

Wild-born kittens have been confirmed for the second year in a row in the Cairngorms! 🥳 This is an incredible milestone for wildcat recovery in Scotland, especially at this early stage in the project 💚 Read the latest update from Saving Wildcats (#SWAforLIFE)🔗 rzss.org.uk/news/wild-born…

When you get caught midnight snacking 👀 Ongoing monitoring has revealed the wildcats have been predominantly hunting small mammals. A smaller portion of their diet has included birds, amphibians, and invertebrates. They have also been feeding on carrion, including roe deer 🦌

Helena, our outreach and engagement manager, recently attended the 159th Scottish Highland Gathering & Games in Pleasanton, California 🇺🇸 She joined project supporters Saving Scottish Wildcats, that volunteer their time to raise funds for wildcat conservation from the USA 🤝

“Cat-fiadhaich” is the Scottish Gaelic term for wildcat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 “Fiadhaich” translates to “wild” or “savage”- which sums up this species pretty well 😾

When the kids go quiet... 👀 Just like this wildcat mum, the field team are working hard to monitor this years' wild-born kittens. To date, we've confirmed fourteen litters to released females in the Cairngorms National Park since releases began in 2023 🧡
