“In the early morning of January 28, Hamilton County Dog Wardens (a division of Cincinnati Animal CARE) responded to reports of a ‘leopard’ or ‘exotic cat’ being spotted in a tree in Oakley,” Cincinnati Animal CARE released a statement on Thursday.

According to officials, Amiry ran from the traffic stop and had already escaped.

“Upon arrival, Dog Wardens were able to retrieve Amiry from the tree and brought him to Cincinnati Animal CARE. CAC’s medical team first called in a big cat expert who had worked on the Zanesville tragedy from a few years back. Our initial thought was the cat was a hybrid F1 Savannah, which are legal to own in Ohio, but our expert was pretty certain Amiry was a serval, which are illegal.”

Amiry’s DNA was tested to confirm his species and drug status after he was recovered.

“Amiry tested positive for exposure to cocaine and the DNA test concluded he was indeed a serval,” The statement was read. “Our facility is not equipped to house wildlife and he was safely transported to USA Today’s Best Zoo in the US, the Cincinnati Zoo.”
