Ocelot at Big Cat RescueSULTAN Male Ocelot

DOB 8/1/97 - 10/11/09

Sultan must be is a throw back to some relative far different than his parents who both have a reddish base coat.  Sultan's fur is more silver than red, making him Big Cat Rescue's most striking Ocelot.  The lighting in this photo just doesn't do his gorgeous coat justice.

He is a great climber and spends most of his time in his tree.

He is also a con artist and will beg you to pet and scratch him, but in true Ocelot fashion, will then turn and bite.  It doesn't seem to be his intention to hurt anyone as he is just acting playful, but his teeth and claws are like razors.  

Sultan has been an active participant in our new operant conditioning programs. He is so food motivated that he has learned many new behaviors very quickly. Once upon a time it was almost impossible to feed him due to him reaching out and acting psycho now he will lay down patiently for his food.

While some of our ocelots were born here prior to 1998 we quit breeding ocelots when we learned that there are no release programs for exotic cats.  They can never be free.  They should never be born for life in cages.
