Orphaned cougar cub rescued in Idaho finds home in Boston zoo (photos)

Nov 13, 2014

A four-week-old cougar kitten was rescued after being found alone and unable to survive in the wild.

The tiny, five-pound kitten was found near Salmon, Idaho, and a call was put out for an organization to help care for him.

The kitten, named 'Blue', has arrived at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, where he is currently being bottle fed. Blue will stay at the zoo's hospital for at least 30 days and, when he is big enough, he will be moved to the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, just north of Boston.
