| Successful hand-rearing of Black-footed cats (_Felis nigripes_) | |
| 2012 Feline Conservation Federation (56): 29-31 | |
Although black-footed cats (_Felis nigripes_) are bred with some frequency in zoos, as of August 2011, the known world population of captives consisted of 22.24.5 animals distributed in 18 European and U.S. collections. According to STADLER (2010), the declining European Endangered Species Program (EEP) population may soon become extinct. In Europe, the Rare Species Conservation Centre (RSCC, Kent, United Kingdom) was the only institution which managed to breed this species in 2010, but there were several births in the USA and South Africa (A. SLIWA pers. comm., 2011). The kittens were hand-raised to adulthood. |
