Matchmaking a trouble-maker

In late 2008, a young male Fishing Cat named ‘Rajatha’ was sent to Port Lympne in the hope that the small carnivore section could, once again, prove their consistent ability to create successful breeding pairs in a species that is regarded as notoriously difficult to breed in captivity. Rajatha, dubbed the ‘killer cat’ due to his past record of killing or seriously injuring any females that he was placed with, was considered to be something of a lost cause amongst the captive population. As a last resort, he was sent to Port Lympne to see if anything could be done to find a mate for this rebellious cat! Not only did the small carnivores section manage to pair him up within the space of a few short months, they were recently delighted to discover that his new mate has just given birth to their first litter.
