5月7日，深圳暴雨过后，大沙河公园的黎观杰在回家的路上，无意间发现了一只浑身湿透、缩成一团发抖的小奶猫。它体长十余厘米，没有声音。出于对小猫人身安全的担忧，黎观杰用纸巾把它擦干，然后几经折腾送往附近的宠物诊所开展援助。不料，这是一段与国家二级保护动物——豹猫的援助故事。

当时场景，黎观杰回忆说，他初遇小猫时，深圳刚消除暴雨预警信号不久。“我观察了一阵，没有发现有大猫去找，那会早已停雨快两小时，小猫身上还是湿的，不管不管它，夜里一定会失温冷死或是饿死。”黎观杰抱住小猫擦干后，又问了公园保安、清洁工以及周边路人，看有没有援助门路。

“我没有养猫经验，不知道怎么解决比较好。”见到小猫情况越来越蔫，黎观杰着急地把它送往五百米以外宠物诊所。他将小猫擦干，并选购牛乳欲给其喂养，但见到小猫情况越来越虚弱，便急切地决定将其送往专业医院。

18时左右，小猫成功到院。经宠物医师擦洗、保温、喂羊奶粉等系列操作，小catslowly regained its vitality. The cat was then transferred to another pet hospital in Houtang for further care.

But what made things complicated was that during the conversation with two veterinarians, it became clear that "Wuqi" might be a leopard cub. “I kept searching on Baidu and consulted friends who work outdoors, they all said it looked like a wild leopard.” He felt uneasy about this situation because he might have saved a national second-class protected animal.

However, Wuqi resembled a breed of domestic cat called Bengal Cat as well. That night, Jiang's heart remained uncertain as he repeatedly checked the differences between Bengal Cats and wild leopards. “But Wuqi had black-and-white stripes on its head, looking quite fierce and similar to leopards”…

On the 8th at around noon, Jiang still couldn't decide whether to keep or release Wuqi; therefore he contacted Shenzhen Wildlife Rescue Center via 110 emergency hotline. After photo and video verification by the center’s staffs, it was finally confirmed that "Wuqi" indeed is a national second-class protected animal - Leopard Cub.

That afternoon at 2:30 pm., Shenzhen Wildlife Rescue Center staff arrived at the pet clinic where Wuqi was being held and took over the young leopard from Jiang after issuing an official receipt for receiving wildlife animals.

The receipt recording "leopard type," "second-level protection type," etc., reassured Jiang that his rescue efforts were directed towards protecting wild animals. Though leaving behind something precious wasn’t easy for him,”the best home for such an animal should be in nature.”

Jiang learned that once grown up enough to hunt independently and possess survival skills in nature, Wuqi would be released into suitable natural reserves within Shenzhen city boundaries— possibly even sent to Dapeng New District’s designated reserve area." Hearing there might be opportunities later to see Wudi again but more so hoping it stays safe & healthy growing up is what matters most now."
