It’s not very likely that your cat is related, but send us some photos to iseccanada@gmail.com

Hi, I probably sound crazy but I often feel like my cat is part black footed cat. She jus has some of the features so I was wondering, If I provided some pictures, if anyone would be able to clue me in? I could be completely wrong but just putting it to rest in my mind would be nice lol

I emailed a Black-footed Cat sighting to berylwa@museumsnc.co.za & to smallwildcats@gmail.com on 11 October 2021 – I just want to check if it was delivered?

In reply to Jordyn. All of this information comes from the scientists who are studying this cat in their native habitat, so yes this is all accurate!

In reply to Paris Vandeusen. Black-footed cats can live up to 16 years in captivity, but in the wild their lifespan is closer to 8 years.

Alright so here’s my sitch. My name is Jordyn and I am doing a research project based on endangered species. I really don’t know for sure if this is accurate information and I would really like to maybe NOT fail this, for science is my passion. Although I do believe that this may be accurate, could you just maybe confirm this for me? Or maybe provide further information for I need to know more than the mere basics of this highly fascinating and eye captivating cat.

Hi, I am the Ecologist for th e Mountain Zebra Camdeboo Protected Environment project. (covering over 250000 ha of farms and 2 national parks in South Africa). Would love to assist in conservation and research of this specie. Have tried to make contact with Beryl but cant seem to reach her. Some of the land owners have indicated to help us with sightings info. Is there any way you can assist me to reach her? Maryke Stern

Sorry to hear about Sani. The kidney failure seems to be the usual thing cats die from. My orange tabby of 14.5yrs (Deechco)), means devil in eastern European language has also died from kidney failure ( I had to euthanize him). Also three other cats I had also died from that.
