Two of three escaped wildcats have been captured after escaping from a Berks County wildlife center earlier this week<\/p>\n

DISTRICT TWP., Pa. (WPVI) — Two wildcats that escaped from a Berks County wildlife cente<\/a>r earlier this week after high winds damaged their enclosure have been captured.<\/p>\n

However, one is still on the loose as of Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The African Serval escaped Thursday night from the Cricket Wildlife Center in District Township, which is about four miles southwest of Bear Creek Mountain Resort.<\/p>\n

Gusty winds caused a large tree to fall on their enclosure, allowing them to get out.<\/p>\n

The animal has been spotted near the facility.<\/p>\n

Cricket Wildlife Center says these wild cats are not dangerous to people or other animals.<\/p>\n

If you see the wildcats, you are asked to call the Cricket Wildlife Center at 717-381-9893.<\/p>\n
