Officials released “Amira” into the wild Thursday morning.

The female cat has been in the care of the Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre south of Winnipeg since last year. The centre held a fundraising dinner last spring to raise money for Amira’s care.

Bobcats are solitary predators, about twice the size of a normal house cat, and are found in southern Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.
