A Scottsdale homeowner discovered a bobcat living in their attic after hearing loud scratching noises, FOX 10 Phoenix reported Thursday.
Critter Evictors, an Arizona wildlife removal company, investigated the sounds and found a hole in the roof where the animal had entered, according to the FOX 10 report.
The incident is not isolated. 12News reported a nearly identical call in which Critter Evictors found bobcats inside a hole in the elevated portion of a homeowner's roof after late-night scratching. In a separate 2023 case, azfamily.com reported that a Scottsdale homeowner found a baby bobcat in the attic and the kitten's mother in the shower; Arizona Game and Fish Department responded to that incident.
Critter Evictors' website notes a customer review describing the company removing a bobcat from a house, saying the animal was handled "with respect and care."
No timeline for the current animal's removal or relocation has been publicly disclosed.
