Overview
- A wind storm toppled a tree onto the serval enclosure at Cricket Wildlife Center in Alburtis, allowing three African servals to escape Wednesday night.
- The nonprofit shared photos of the cats and the damaged pen on Facebook as the search continues.
- Refuge staff say the animals are older with limited ability to care for themselves and ask the public not to harm them.
- The center says these were the only servals in its care and is coordinating efforts to locate them.
- Servals are medium-sized wild cats native to sub-Saharan Africa, and Pennsylvania permits their ownership with special licenses, while Savannah cat hybrids are legal without restrictions.
