Little Dove has passed away
Note to volunteers:  Jamie and I found Little Dove passed away this am.  She looked like she passed away peacefully asleep in her favorite big den.   As of her last exam she had end stage kidney disease so we knew this was coming.  She was our oldest cat at 24 years old, she was loved and spoiled by all her keepers.
 
Little Dove
Female Bobcat
5/12/93 - 9/24/17
Rescued 5/27/93
 
9/24/17  Little Dove was our oldest bobcat when she died last night, in her sleep, in her favorite den.  She was the last of the original 56 bobcats and lynx who had been rescued from a fur farm in 1993.  She died on the first day of the Cat Summit at the Jackson Hole Film Festival where 650 non profits and media producers have convened to work together to save exotic cats.  I guess she just had to be here in person to witness it.
 
Those who watch our nightly walkabouts in Facebook knew Little Dove as the bobcat who loved her coolaroo hammock bed and who insisted on breakfast and dinner in bed every day.  If you rode with us every couple of hours during the live broadcasts we did, patrolling the sanctuary during Hurricane Irma, you know that she was the one cat we worried about most, but she slept blissfully in her den through all of it.  Her keepers loved her immensely and she will be greatly missed.  You can post your tributes to her at https://bigcatrescue.org/little-dove/
 
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
 
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
