Cougar

by Virginia Frances Voight

A sixteen-year-old boy rescues an orphaned puma kitten, helps his grandfather turn their unused farm into a wildlife refuge, makes a difficult decision to put the cat into a roadside zoo rather than let it roam free to be shot by a vicious neighboring poacher, and then decides he must teach his pet to live in the wilderness.

Reviews

[Paul Tougas]

It's simple. I'm now 56. I read this book when I was 12.
I live on the border of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. If I remember correctly, the boy in this book was in South central N.H. in Raymond, I think...
I have wanted a mountain lion kitty, ever since.
Loved it!
