CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Zoo has taken in an African serval cat after the animal was recovered from a wild adventure.
The cat named Amiry was found with cocaine in its system after local animal control officials captured him in January from a tree.
Animal experts say the cats should not be treated as normal house cats and that they require more specialized attention.
Amiry escaped from his owner during a traffic stop, when the cat jumped from the car and into a tree.
The cat’s story has gained attention online with social media users dubbing the cat “cocaine cat.”
