We were happy to be able to fly this trip for these special animals...

12/06/2024

Thanks to your generosity we were able to get two bobcats back to their home turf.
The animals were found in a distressing situation in the mountains near Bakersfield. They were picked up by Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, which then got some assistance from Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue, which cared for them until they were mature enough to return to the wild.
Our first attempt to fly them home was interrupted by a failed starter on the plane. 48 hours later we were airborne. Unfortunately, heavy fog kept us from landing in Bakersfield so we flew to the closest airport with clear weather.
We kept the animals covered to limit their exposure to humans and keep them wild. That's why you don't always see good pictures of the animals.
All in all a very successful mission. Thank you for your help covering our fuel costs! Here's how the flight played out...

UPDATE December 2nd.
The starter in our plane died on the day of our flight. We're awaiting repair and will get the bobcats on their way home as soon as the problem if fixed. ...............................................
Hello animal lovers!
Two adorable bobcats ready to be released into the wild need a flight back home to SoCal!

Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network rescued the animals and Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue cared for them until they were ready for release.

We're also picking up a coyote from Santa Barbara and bringing it to Sonoma County.

It will cost about $400 in fuel for the flights. Any extra funds will be used for additional rescues. Thanks for your support!

Please ignore the PayPal disclaimer saying Flying Tails hasn't authorized the fundraiser. That is incorrect.

Another mission accomplished.

A Beechcraft Bonanza is not as stylish or formidable as a Bald Eagle, but still it was with a certain amount of panache that the two-tone brown, trim and speedy plane touched down on the runway of …

Thanks to your help, we were able to fly 7 coyote pups from LA County's California Wildlife Center and take them to Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue where they can be cared for until they're big enough to be released back to the wild. https://www.facebook.com/californiawildlifecenter/ https://www.facebook.com/CaliforniaDFW/
