The veterinarian who examined "Loki" the stolen serval cat, found him to be in good condition. Loki has no proven charges against him and is not illegal for his owner to keep.

Presently the BC SPCA wants to place Loki in a sanctuary of some sort. Is this truly in the best interest of the animal involved? This cat has not lived that life. Loki has not lived a solitary life of being viewed as would happen at a sanctuary such as the Greater Vancouver Zoo.
Loki has slept in his owners bed and been treated as a housepet which is what servals are SOLD as.

The BC SPCA has a record of returning seized animals to owners who are able to pay a large fine. These animals are returned unspayed and unneutered and are returned to a life that many of us would consider unsatisfactory.

What is different here?

Could it be that this owner does not have the wherewithall to bail out her PET whom she does not use as a source of economic gain?
Could it be the BC SPCA is using Loki for the publicity he generates?

While I agree living in the back of a car is not the life for Loki neither is spending the rest of his life in solitary confinement.
Should his owner find accomodation which will allow her to safely care for "Loki" her stolen housepet should be returned to her.

The problem is much larger than the case of Loki and it is about time the BC SPCA started working on the problem rather than punishing the victims.
