Free-Roaming Cat Interactions with Wildlife Admitted to a Wildlife Hospital
The Journal of Wildlife Management; DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21181 Note Free-roaming cat interactions with wildlife admitted to a wildlife hospital DAVE L. MCRUER,1 Wildlife Center of Virginia, PO Box 1557, 1800 South Delphine Avenue, Waynesboro, VA 22980, USA LINCOLN C. GRAY, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, James Madison University, MSC 4304, 801 Carrier Drive, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, USA LEIGH-ANN HORNE, Wildlife Center of Virginia, PO Box 1557, 1800 South Delphine Avenue, Waynesboro, VA 22980, USA EDWARD E. CLARK JR., Wildlife Center of Virginia, PO Box 1557, 1800 South Delphine Avenue, Waynesboro, VA 22980, USA ABSTRACT Free-roaming domestic cats are a major anthropogenic source of morbidity and mortality to wild birds and mammals in the United States. Permitted wildlife rehabilitators routinely treat cat-caused injuries. However, extent of these activities is under-reported in the scientiﬁc literature. To determine incidence, age class, mortality, diversity and frequency of species affected, nature of injuries, time in care, and temporal and geospatial trends associated with interactions between free-roaming cats and wildlife, we conducted a retrospective analysis on 20,921 records from small birds and mammals presented to the Wildlife Center of Virginia (WCV), USA between 2000 and 2010. Cat interaction was the second greatest cause of small-mammal admissions (14.8%), fourth greatest cause of mammal mortality (70.8%), fourth greatest cause of bird admissions (13.7%), and second greatest cause of avian mortality (80.8%). Eighty-three species were admitted following interactions with cats. Age of wildlife admitted following cat interaction varied by class; juvenile mammals were captured most frequently (40.5%), followed by neonates (34%), then adults (25.5%).

Coyote Reservoir & Harvey Bear..…
Coyote Reservoir & Harvey Bear..…. February 24, south Santa Clara County Quick Overview – Watching the weather reports we all saw the storm coming, but a group of adventurous souls arrived with all their rain gear and ready to go regardless of the elements, and what a day we had! Once east of Gilroy and traveling through the country roads we realized that soaking wet birds create unique ID challenges. With characteristic feathers in disarray and the wet plumages now appearing much darker we had to leave some questionable birds off our list. We had wanted to walk some of the trails that make up the new Harvey Bear Ranch Park, but the rain had us doing most of our birding from the cars which was easy along Coyote Reservoir Road as it parallels the lake. It also makes it easy when no one else is in the park. We could stop anywhere we wanted and we were not in anyone’s way – a birder’s dream come true! Watching Violet Green Swallows by the hundreds reminded us all that spring is near. And at one stop we got four woodpecker species. Ending our day watching Bald Eagles grasp fish at the surface of the water was worth our getting all wet! And I’ll not soon forget our close encounter with the dam’s Rufous Crowned Sparrow. Since we started our day at the south entrance of the park we ended Rufous Crowned Sparrow our day at the north entrance. It was here we listened to above and hard working Western Meadowlarks and watched a Say’s Phoebe.
