Assam gives two orphaned leopard cats a second chance in the wild..
A heartening conservation success is unfolding in Assam as two orphaned leopard cat kittens are being prepared for life back in the wild after months of expert care and rehabilitation. Rescued as infants from Bedlangmari village in Dhubri district, the male and female leopard cats have now been shifted to an acclimatisation enclosure in Raimona National Park, marking a significant milestone in their journey towards freedom.
As we continue to strengthen wildlife conservation across Assam, our focus remains on rescuing, rehabilitating and successfully reintroducing orphaned and injured wild animals into their natural habitats. Through coordinated efforts involving wildlife veterinarians, conservation organisations and the Forest Department, we are ensuring that rescued animals not only survive but also regain the skills needed to thrive independently in the wild.
The two leopard cat kittens were rescued in April 2026 after they were found orphaned and were taken to the Wildlife Trust of India's Mobile Veterinary Service Unit at Charaikhola in Kokrajhar district. Over the following months, they received round-the-clock veterinary care, including regular health examinations, vaccinations, nutritional support, growth monitoring and behavioural assessments. After reaching approximately five months of age, both kittens were declared fit for the next phase of rehabilitation.
The acclimatisation enclosure at Raimona National Park provides a natural environment where the kittens can strengthen their hunting instincts, adapt to forest conditions and gradually reduce their dependence on human care before their eventual release into the wild. This carefully planned rehabilitation process reflects the scientific approach being adopted to ensure successful wildlife reintroductions while preserving natural behaviour.
Our vision is to make Assam a leader in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation where every rescued animal is given the opportunity to return to its rightful home in nature. Every successful release is a testament to the power of science, compassion and conservation working together to protect Assam's extraordinary biodiversity for generations to come.
