They are the smallest wild cat in Oregon being about twice the size of a domestic house cat. Their most distinguishable traits are their stubby bobbed tails and black ears with white spots on the back. They are tan with a white underbelly and dark spots on their legs and feet. There has been a female raising her cubs in the old Craddick barn near the retreat entrance.
