I feel bad for the caracal and the lady that found it living under her deck. I'm glad it wasn't harmed and it is going to a wildlife refuge where it can live in nature. the exotic pet trade needs to be stopped. that beautiful animal shouldn't be able to be sold to any moron with a bankroll.
You can't just decide some one dumped this cat. It's hard to keep a regular cat indoors, they run away sometimes. Imagine an exptic one whos territory needs are not met...they flee, man.
Many people have pets for this type of cat but unfortunately some have very bad temperaments and begin to scratch and bite you his at you half the day and more than likely this was one of those types unfortunately
