Two leopard cat kittens were relocated to Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre after they were rescued last week from an area in Mondulkiri province scorched by a forest fire, Wildlife Alliance posted on their Facebook page yesterday.

 

The kittens were rescued by Tan Savuth from a fire on the road in Pech Chreada district’s Sre Ampoum commune and then passed to Wildlife Alliance’s officials. “They were rescued after their mother put them on the road and ran back into the burning forest,” said Wildlife Alliance.

 

The leopard cat is a small wild cat native to continental South, Southeast and East Asia. Since 2002 it has been listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List as it is widely distributed although threatened by habitat loss and hunting in parts of its range.

Phnom Tamao is first rate, and I don't know what Cambodia would do without Wildlife Alliance.
