When the bobcat kittens — a brother and sister — were found near a rest stop along the side of a road in Condon, Oregon, on May 19, 2025, they each weighed less than a pound. At just a month old, they were showing signs of dehydration, hypothermia, external parasites and diarrhea. Officials believed their mother had been killed by a vehicle.
