Salato Center adds new bobcat kitten, young bald eagle

By Geoff Roberts

Frankfort, KY - The Salato Wildlife Education Center in Frankfort invites visitors to come and see the two most recent additions to its collection of exhibit animals. The center recently acquired a 4-month-old bobcat kitten from a wildlife rehabilitation facility that will ultimately be kept on permanent exhibit.

"Because she's so small and young, we'll keep her separated from our adult bobcat until she's older," said Brent McCarty, acting director of the center. "While she won't be on permanent exhibit for some time, our visitors will have opportunities to see her during scheduled times in our small mammal enclosure."

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the bobcat kitten will be on exhibit from 1pm-2pmCT/2p-3pmET, Tuesdays through Saturdays. Visitors are encouraged to call the center at 502-564-7863 before visiting to confirm that the kitten will be out.
