Tiny bobcat kitten named Lee rescued in last weekend's post-tropical storm

Several soaking wet and windblown animals were taken to the Atlantic Wildlife Institute in southeastern New Brunswick when tropical storm Lee blew through the region.

Among those rescued were a few squirrels, a chipmunk and a hummingbird, according to Pam Novak, the director of wildlife at the rehabilitation centre near Sackvlle.

But there was one clear standout — a tiny bobcat kitten — who Novak estimates is only about one month old.

A ranger from Dieppe's Department of Natural Resources office contacted her to say a nearby resident was outside in the Jolicure area during the storm feeding stray cats when they noticed an unusual kitten trying to climb up their leg.
