‘I would rather deal with a tiger,' a big cat expert brought in to identify the serval said
CAC’s medical staff ran a drug screen on the big cat found in a tree in Oakley, which came back positive for cocaine.
“For a split second I really thought there was a leopard,” Anderson said. “But what happened was, in an encounter with Cincinnati Police, the cat either escaped from an apartment or car and ran up a tree, and that’s when we got called in.” “He came in and took one look at it and said, ‘Oh, no, that’s absolutely a serval,’” Anderson said. “He asked us how we got it out and I told him that the dog wardens climbed up a tree and got it, and he told us, ‘I would rather deal with a tiger.’”
Charges for the illegal possession of the cat and for the presence of cocaine in its system aren’t being filed at the moment, but chief dog warden for Hamilton County Troy Taylor said that charges are still possible.
