Pilibhit (Uttar Pradesh): A team of Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) launched a rescue operation and reunited a rusty-spotted wild cat with her three kittens after they got separated in a sugarcane field for over 36 hours in Surajpur village of Pilibhit district.
Officials said that the kittens, which were assessed to be one month old, were found under a heap of dry sugarcane leaves by labourers while they were harvesting the crops on Sunday.
Fearing they were leopard cubs and a leopard was nearby, they informed village-based primary response team of WTI following which a rescue operation was initiated by the organisation’s rapid response team.
Kumar Nair, the regional coordinator of WTI, said that the kittens were later reunited with the wild cat.
