Maverick started his life in a Minnesota fur farm. He was bought as a pet by a woman in Beverly Hills. Maverick started to act just like a young bobcat, biting, playing rough and scratching anyone and everything. The woman's husband told her that it was either him or the bobcat so he was booted out of the house. He was then moved from one home to the next. He ended up with an animal dealer that could not sell him because he would bite everyone. The dealer contacted us to finally place him here at the sanctuary permanently when all other attempts at other places failed.

When Maverick first arrived in late June 1999,he was still only about a year old and was very frisky. With a lot of attention, care and loving training he was taught not to bite. He has had different roommates over the past several years making many new friends. He is our largest bobcat getting a very beautiful fluffy silver grey fur coat each winter. He is a joy to have here and a very loving cat.

Maverick is never alone because he and his friend Shasa live together and enjoy each others company very much.
