1 escaped wildcat returned to Pennsylvania wildlife center as search for remaining 2 ramps up
One of three wildcats that escaped from a wildlife center in Berks County, Pennsylvania, earlier this week has been safely returned.
The Cricket Wildlife Center announced in a Facebook post that one of the African Servals, which escaped Wednesday, is now back at the center. The other two African Servals, have been spotted between Huffs Church, Bitting, and Delong roads and appear to be staying close together.
The center also said the Berks County Emergency Services Special Operations Group is assisting in the search for the wildcats using thermal drones. The Mighty Pawz Humane Society, is also helping the wildlife center repair the enclosures.
The wildcats’ enclosures were damaged during Wednesday night’s windstorm, which toppled a tree onto their pen and allowed them to escape.
According to a post on social media, the three wildcats are the wildlife center’s last three from its time doing cat rescues.
The wildlife center says the wildcats are old and are not a danger to humans or pets.
“Please do not harm them,” the wildlife center wrote on Facebook.
The wildlife center is asking anyone in the Alburtis or Berks County area who spots the animals to call them at 717-381-9893.

LIHEAP is delayed in Pa. due to the government shutdown. Here are other resources for energy bills
Do you know of a resource we should include in this guide? Drop us a note.
Pennsylvania has delayed its Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, to December due to the federal government shutdown, which has held up millions of dollars in federal funding the state usually uses to run the program.
This leaves Pennsylvanians waiting longer for help paying their heating bills, buying fuel or fixing broken heaters.
Gov. Josh Shapiro announced Wednesday his administration had secured commitments from Pennsylvania utility companies not to shut off service for low-income customers during November.
While utility customers impacted by the delay will not lose service, if they fall behind on their bills, they could face termination in the spring when the state’s winter shutoff moratorium ends. What’s more, people who heat their homes with fuel oil are not protected by these shutoff bans.
State utility regulators are urging customers struggling with bills to call their utilities early to ask about assistance options and payment plans.
With LIHEAP delayed, here are other resources to help heat your Pennsylvania home.
