This adult Female Geoffroy's Cat was rescued when she was caught with a foot trap on a chicken farm. They are not a protected species and farmers in South America regularly kill them to protect their chickens and keep their pelts. Because the cat could not become tame and would bite strong anyone who got near it, it quickly had a cage as seen built and a larger enclosure was being built for it when this was filmed. She was rarely seen during the day time, preferring to hide until night when it would come out for it's half raw chicken! She also drank milk but rejected all other food. Even cooked chicken. This footage of her is one of the few times she came out during the daytime. She would consume a half raw chicken per day... more in winter.
