Rusty 1
(Caracal)
DOB 5/29/94
A caracal named Rusty (Rusty 1) was born at BCR on 5-28-94 of breeders Rupa and Sierra, bought for $1,000 each. This cub was sold for $1,000 in 1995 to Derwood Mantel of Alabama.
Rusty 2
(Caracal)
DOB 3/28/97
A second caracal also named Rusty (Rusty 2) was born at BCR on 3-28-97 of breeders Cachanga ($800) and Crackle. Cachanga was imported from Africa along with his sister Cachinga ($800) at 14 weeks old. Baskin writes. "The "new" bloodlines are a valuable acquisition to help strengthen pedigrees in the U.S." Rusty and his sister Rose were taken from their mother and were bottle raised in Baskin's house as pets. Because you do not rescue cats to breed them or raise them as pets, these 8 cats, Rusty, Rusty 2, Rupa, Sierra, Cachanga, Crackle, Cachinga, and Rose were not rescues.
