There is "real hope for the future" of wildcats in Scotland , according to experts, following the release of 18 into the Highlands this year. ‌

The Saving Wildcats partnership, led by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) , released the animals into the Cairngorms National Park over the summer. ‌

This marks the third consecutive year that wildcats have been reintroduced into the Highlands, bringing the total number of animals released to 46. ‌

Several of the female wildcats have successfully given birth to litters in the spring and summer of 2024 and 2025, a development that experts believe bodes well for the species.
