Atlas's journey began when he was acquired by a private owner in Montana as a tiny kitten. For a while, Atlas shared a living space indoors with his owner, their dogs, and even a domestic cat. However, as he continued to grow and develop, his inherent bobcat instincts began to take center stage, making him increasingly challenging to manage.
Recognizing that Atlas deserved a better life where he could truly be himself and live as a bobcat, his owner made the decision to reach out to Lions Tigers & Bears for assistance. This choice was driven by a desire to provide Atlas with the care and environment he truly needed.
Efforts were made to integrate Atlas with the other bobcats at LTB, but it became evident that this was not the right path for him. His individual needs and preferences ultimately guided the course of his journey at the sanctuary. Atlas now lives happily in his own habitat at LTB.
