Rocky the bobcat has new, permanent home
NEW JERSEY -- Rocky, the hybrid bobcat who gained notoriety by continually breaking out of his home during the past year, has been given a life sentence at the Popcorn Park Zoo in Lacey Township after his owner on Friday agreed to surrender him.
Ginny Fine agreed to relinquish ownership of the big feline at a hearing in municipal court before Superior Court Judge Damian Murray at which she pleaded guilty to again letting the pet run loose in Stafford Township on Oct. 21.
Fine had been warned by Murray on Sept. 12 that if Rocky broke out of her home again, she would lose him forever. That was when she appeared in court for the fourth time in less than a year on charges of letting the exotic animal break loose.
Murray on Friday made it clear that Rocky's status as a habitual offender had earned him a life term at the Popcorn Park Zoo. At previous court hearings, the judge has noted that Rocky broke out at least six times in the course of a year.
"Rocky is going to be a permanent resident of the Popcorn Zoo,'' Murray said Friday, as Fine brushed away tears.
"This should be an end to the tortured history of this case,'' the judge said to Fine."Some things are not meant to be. Rocky living in your household is one of them.''
In addition to ordering the surrender of Rocky to the Popcorn Park Zoo, the judge also fined Fine $500 for the latest offense and ordered her to pay $560 in restitution to the zoo for his room and board. Rocky has been kept at the zoo since his last escape from Fine's house on Oct. 21.
With a cadre of television cameras in tow, Fine hurriedly left the municipal complex after signing over ownership of the feline to Popcorn Park Zoo, a refuge for abused and neglected animals operated by the Associated Humane Societies in the Forked River section of Lacey Township.
Rocky has been in the news regularly during the course of the year, especially since he was on the lam for 12 days from March to April. His disappearance then spawned questions about Rocky's parentage and prompted Murray to order a DNA test on the animal to determine the species of his father.
Fine has represented that Rocky, a 4-year-old animal who has been declawed, is a hybrid of bobcat and Maine Coon cat. Murray in April ordered the DNA test on Rocky after officials with the Division of Fish and Wildlife went to him with their suspicions that the animal was pure bobcat, which would require a special permit to own. Murray told Fine then that if Rocky turned out to be pure bobcat, she would have to forfeit him.
But at another court hearing on May 16, Murray revealed that the DNA test on Rocky, while showing his mother was pure bobcat, was inconclusive as to his father. Because of that, Murray allowed Rocky to be returned to Fine after she paid a $1,000 fine and restitution of $216 to the Stafford Veterinary Hospital to reimburse it for tranquilizer medication used during attempts to capture the wayward animal.
But Rocky continued to escape from Fine's house after that, first on May 31 and again on July 6, landing Fine back before Murray on Sept. 12. At that time, she told the judge she had made extensive improvements to Rocky's enclosure to prevent him from getting out again. She told the judge then that if Rocky had any further escapes, she would voluntarily surrender him.
And, Rocky indeed escaped again on Oct. 21, when one of Fine's neighbors called police to report they saw the big cat running at large.
Fine's attorney noted in court that largely because of Rocky's escapades this year, Stafford Township adopted an ordinance in July prohibiting the ownership of exotic animals in the township.

New Jersey woman's bobcat caught after escaping for seventh time, being held at zoo
NEW JERSEY -- Rocky, the 38-pound bobcat with a history of running away from home is back in custody.
The owner, Ginny Fine, was cited for allowing Rocky to escape. She is back in municipal court on Dec. 5.
The bobcat is now headed to the Popcorn Park Zoo in Lacey. This is the sixth time he's been on the loose in the Ocean County Town of Manahawkin.
Rocky is a legal pet only because he's not all bobcat, and the owner just loves him. "I do love him. He's like family," said Fine. "He's very happy to be home."
Well, maybe not quite as happy as Ginny thought. Despite all kinds of safeguards put on his home, Rocky escaped again this week, for the sixth time, apparently fleeing into the woods across the street to dine on mice and squirrels.
"It's always a concern, there are residents living there year-round, there are children in that area," said Captain Thomas Dellane, of the Ocean County Police Department.
Finding Rocky has occupied a lot of Dellane's time, and that of the folks from animal control in the city. Last time, after his fifth escape, a judge promised there would be no tolerance for Rocky six.
"He did indicate if it were to escape again, they would award custody over to the Popcorn Park Zoo and take the custody away from the owner," Dellane said.
Most neighbors Eyewitness News spoke to said they weren't terribly concerned about the large cat being on the loose and were just wondering if the owners would be able to keep Rocky.
"He's a high maintenance pet, needs a lot of care," Fine said.
That's a burden that may soon no longer be hers.

The high school yearbook pic to beat all others: Student gets his wish to pose with principal, their pets and lasers
NEW YORK -- All Draven Rodriguez wanted was a memorable yearbook photo and in the end that's what he got.
While the senior at New York's Schenectady High School originally wanted an image of himself and pet cat Mr. Bigglesworth surrounded by lasers, school officials wouldn't put it in the portrait section.
But now he's he and Mr. Bigglesworth are sharing the the principal's page with administrator Diane Wilkinson, her mixed chihuahua Vivienne, and, yes, a whole lot of lasers.
Photographer Vincent Giordano described Vivienne as a nervous model while Mr. Bigglesworth was more interested in the technical aspects.
'Diane and Draven were all laughs, they really enjoyed the photo session,' he told Buzzfeed.
'Vivienne and Mr. Bigglesworth really broke the rules of cats and dogs and got along famously for a trouble free photo session!'
Draven had tried to start a petition to get an image of he and his cat in the yearbook's portrait section.
His campaign soon went viral, prompting support from publications like Gawker, Time, and Cosmopolitan. His original goal was to get 500 signatures; he received more than 7,000 signatures on ipetitions.com.
The final picture will include an urge for animal rescue and adoption. Both animals are rescue pets. The principal's dog's name is Vivian, the photographer, Vincent Giordano, said, and the goal is to raise awareness of rescue animals through the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Stafford bobcat allowed to return home
NEW JERSEY -- Rocky the bobcat hybrid is headed back home.
Municipal Court Judge Damian G. Murray on Friday decided that the infamous bobcat/Maine Coon cat mix could return home to his owner, Ginny Fine of the Beach Haven West section, after Fine told the judge she had made extensive improvements to her home to prevent the 38-pound feline from making another escape. The judge agreed that the improvements should prevent the bobcat mix from fleeing.
Court Administrator Carol Jenkins said Fine pleaded guilty to one count of letting an animal run at large. She was fined $250, plus $33 in court costs, Jenkins said. She also has to pay $448 restitution to Popcorn Park Zoo in Lacey, where Rocky has been living since July. Fine is expected to take the cat home this week. Fine agreed that if Rocky escapes again, she will have to give him up permanently.
In July, Murray had required Fine to turn over her cat after he escaped from his pen July 6. It was the fourth time the frisky feline had run away from Fine's home.
Rocky gained notoriety after breaking out of his pen in March and remaining on the lam for 12 days. After the feline was lured back to Fine's house in April, it was seized by animal control officers and brought to the Popcorn Park Zoo, which is run by the Associated Humane Societies. Rocky was kept at the zoo while Fine faced a charge of letting the pet get loose, in violation of an agreement she signed in October after another escapade in which Rocky went on the lam.
While Rocky was at the zoo, Murray ordered a DNA test on the animal after representatives of the Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Fish and Wildlife brought him suspicions that Rocky was pure bobcat rather than a hybrid of bobcat and Maine coon cat, as Fine had claimed.
Fine pleaded guilty on May 16 to the charge stemming from the March escape. She was fined $1,000, but she also was allowed to take Rocky home from the zoo because the DNA test proved inconclusive. Rocky escaped again in May and July.

Woman Loses Custody of Pet Bobcat
NEW JERSEY -- A South Jersey woman lost temporary custody of her pet bobcat after the animal escaped from her home multiple times.
On Friday a judge ordered that Ginny Fine's bobcat Rocky be seized and returned to Popcorn Park Zoo until the two pending charges against Fine are resolved.
Last June, Rocky escaped from Fine's Stafford Township home. The escape came less than three weeks after Fine told NBC10 she could guarantee Rocky would never get loose in the future. The animal was loose for about an hour before Fine retrieved her pet, police said.
A complaint from a neighbor prompted a response from the township’s Animal Control, which issued a summons to Fine for the animal “running at large.”
The 38 pound partially-declawed feline has been in the spotlight since late March after he got loose from Fine’s house, prompting concerns from neighbors and police. He was missing for days before turning up.
As a result of a previous court order stemming from a prior escape last fall, authorities seized Rocky and took him to the Associated Humane Societies’ Popcorn Park Zoo in Lacey Township.
A DNA test to determine if Rocky is a purebred Bobcat, illegal to own as a pet in New Jersey, or a hybrid proved to be inconclusive. As a result, Rocky was returned to Fine on May 19, three days after Stafford Township Municipal Court Judge Damian Murray ruled she could have him back as long as an enclosure outside her home passed an inspection by township officials.
Murray also ordered Fine to pay a $1,000 fine and more than $200 in restitution. She now faces an additional fine.
Following the May 16 hearing, NBC10 News asked Fine if Rocky would be getting loose again, to which she adamantly replied, “Never, ever…I don’t ever want to do this again.”
The township’s Animal Control was alerted of the roaming bobcat by a neighbor who filed a complaint about the pet. Animal Control issued a summons to Fine for the animal “running at large.”

For now Rocky's just a big cat, not bobcat, can go home
NEW JERSEY - -Who's the daddy of a 38-pound kitty that was wandering around this area in early April?
The answer to that question may never be known.
For that reason Rocky, a cat who's supposed to be a cross between a bobcat and a Maine coon but was suspected of being a purebred bobcat, can go home.
That was Municipal Court Judge Damian G. Murray's surprise ruling Friday as Rocky's owner, Ginny Fine, waited to hear results of a DNA test on her 3-year-old feline.
If the DNA test had revealed that Rocky was pure bobcat — males can weigh as much as 40 pounds while male Maine coon cats can tip the scales at more like 25 pounds — Fine would not have been allowed to have him back. New Jersey bans residents from owning "potentially dangerous species" as pets, which includes nondomestic cats, and she would have had to qualify for a special permit generally not issued to nonprofessionals.
But a bobcat hybrid is just considered a big kitty under state law.
Murray revealed the results of a mitochondrial DNA analysis performed on Rocky's blood at the Northeast Wildlife DNA Laboratory at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania.
"The mother was determined to be a bobcat," Murray said, noting that the DNA test revealed Rocky's mother was 98% lynx rufus, or bobcat. Mitochnodrial DNA is inherited exclusively from the mother, so the DNA test revealed nothing about Rocky's father.
The test could not determine who Rocky's father was, and the Montana breeder from whom Fine obtained Rocky was not required to keep records of the animal's lineage, Murray said.
"The bottom line is Rocky goes home," the judge said.
The ruling caught Fine off guard. But she's ecstatic despite having just pleaded guilty to letting the animal get loose and being fined $1,000.
"I'm shocked," Fine said later. "I was not expecting that."
She said her house cats, Elsie and Checkers, will be happy to see Rocky, who has been declawed.
"They miss him terribly," Fine said. "Elsie has been walking around the house, looking in all the rooms for him."
Fine hopes to pick up Rocky on Monday from the Associated Humane Societies' Popcorn Park Zoo in Lacey, N.J., where the big cat has been kept since April 7. Officials there already had determined that Rocky has a domestic temperament, something Fine had told the judge.
Animal control officers brought Rocky to Popcorn Park Zoo a day after Fine had lured him back home. He had gotten loose March 25.
Murray ordered that Rocky be kept in an enclosure that officials from New Jersey's Division of Fish and Wildlife will inspect periodically.
"It is something I don't have a problem doing if I can have the cat back," Fine told the judge.
Outside the courtroom, she said the enclosure already has been constructed with money donated by people who want to see Rocky return home.
Animal Control Officer Kelly Karch said it will be inspected Monday
In imposing the $1,000 fine, Murray said the hunt for Rocky incurred labor expenses for police officers, who were "all over this town, hunting through the woods" for Rocky. It was the second time Rocky had run away.
Fine also had to pay $216 in restitution to Stafford Veterinary Hospital for tranquilizer medication used during an attempt to capture Rocky the second time.
But Rocky is still not out of the woods: Murray said he could be subject to seizure in the future if his father can be determined to be a bobcat.
