Big Cat Spotted Near Bolivia

By Catherine M. Welch

Wilmington, NC – Brunswick County officials are asking residents in Bolivia to keep an eye out for a large cat.

Brunswick County Animal Services received several calls Tuesday night of dogs being killed in the Brown Road area off Midway Road.

One of the callers reported seeing a large cat, possibly a bobcat.

Further investigation lead to paw prints. It's not clear whether the prints belong to bears or bobcats, so Animal Services is asking anyone who sees a large cat in the Bolivia area to call 911.
