Our Wild Cats

Feeding and care

Here at Wild Cat Breeder, we recommend that you give your wild cat whole prey as much as possible. This is the natural diet for wild feline. When you give whole prey to your wild cat it will get all the vitamins and minerals it needs from the meat, organ meat bone, feathers and fur. When you choose this kind of diet, your cat will not need to be given supplements. Never give your cat cooked meat on the bone as it is prone to splinters when it is cooked which is very dangerous.

If you choose to give your cat a diet of meat cuts only, then you will need to supplement it with wild feline vitamins, minerals, taurine probiotics and calcium. We use Apperon exotic feline products. Another good product is wild trax feline products. Choose a diet that will work for you and your animal. You can also discuss this with your vet. I would recommend that you give your cat raw meat on the bone once a week. This will clean your cat's teeth. Adult Leopard cats will consume 1-2 lbs of meat per day. Adult servals will consume 2-4 lbs of meat per day.

Internal and external parasites

Our cats are regularly treated for internal and external parasites. They are vaccinated with the three-in-one killed vaccine at 12 weeks. You will (as you would with any animal) need to worm regularly and treat for ticks and fleas. We use Panicure paste for worming and Advantix for ticks and fleas.

Bottle feeding

Cubs are bottle-fed for almost three months at 2 hour intervals throughout the day and night for the first 8 weeks of their life. Each feeding session can take up to an serval kittens hour depending how many cubs are here at one time. We clean and sterilize all feeding equipment. This can take up to 30 minutes, so it leaves a half an hour for bathing and playing with the other animals. It's not easy, but it is very rewarding to raise friendly, human-orientated cats. I am proud of all my cubs.
