Fascinating Felines of Cabo San Lucas

The History of Cats in Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas, a city located at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. During this time, cats were introduced to the area by Spanish conquistadors and quickly became an integral part of the local ecosystem.

These early felines thrived in the desert environment, adapting to the harsh conditions and becoming a vital part of the region's biodiversity. Today, it is estimated that there are over 100,000 feral cats living in Cabo San Lucas alone.
