Garden City, KS (westernkansasnews.com) Bobby, a 21 year old bobcat at the Lee Richardson Zoo had to be put down last week after suffering multiple health issues from his advanced age. An examination of Bobby revealed evidence of thyroid cancer. Bobby came to the zoo in 1995 from the Tulsa Zoo and lived in the Cats of the Americas exhibit until last fall, when he and companion Cactus moved to the new Cat Canyon exhibit.
