Calgary Bobcat Removal & Management
What Are Bobcats
The bobcat, a medium-sized wild cat weighing between 15 to 40 pounds, is increasingly seen across Canada. Because they’re naturally shy, bobcats are not often spotted in urban areas, but still dwell within parts of Calgary, Alberta. They generally avoid humans and are unlikely to attack unless rabid, but they’re attracted to various food sources like small pets, rodents, bird leftovers, and even pet food.
Despite their distinct appearance, many people confuse bobcats with either domestic cats or mountain lions. While attacks on humans are rare, bobcats can become a nuisance and need to be managed. They’re skilled predators and may resort to pets and livestock for food when their natural prey is scarce.

When to Consider Bobcat Removal
Although bobcats tend to make themselves scarce around humans, they can become comfortable in their environment and not as quick to dart away in the presence of a human. If you do suspect that bobcats are living in your area, do not leave pets outside unattended. Don’t leave out any food that may attract bobcats. If you do spot a bobcat on your property, make loud noises or bang on pots to scare them away – they can be scared off pretty easily, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t return.
