WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — A young cougar left hungry and orphaned when its mother was hit by a vehicle is recovering from frostbite in Williams Lake, B.C.
Ron LeBlanc of the B.C. Conservation Officer Service said residents reported seeing a small cat in the area.
Officers searched outside a home Monday where the animal was last spotted.
“Sure enough, the little guy was on the deck under some lawn furniture,” LeBlanc said.
