-PRESS RELEASE-
Mount Shasta Mountain Lion Successfully Captured for Relocation
Mount Shasta, CA (June 5, 2026) - At approximately 10:30 AM this morning, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) with assistance from the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO), Mount Shasta Police Department (MSPD), and California Highway Patrol (CHP) successfully tranquilized and captured the female juvenile mountain lion F-79.
The mountain lion was treed earlier this morning within the Mount Shasta City limits near Mill Road and was safely removed from the area. F-79 is currently being evaluated for relocation by the CDFW. Upon F-79's relocation, her behavior will continue to be evaluated by the CDFW to determine if any additional interventions are warranted.
The SCSO would like to thank the partner agencies including MSPD and CHP that assisted with the successful capture of the mountain lion. The safety of the public remains the SCSO’s highest priority. The SCSO also thanks the public for their reports and patience during this challenging time. We encourage the public to continue reporting concerning wildlife behavior, sightings, or depredations to the Sheriff’s Office and CDFW, as these reports provide the necessary information required to respond to wildlife conflict in Siskiyou County.

As authorities continue searching for a mountain lion in the Mt. Shasta area, frustration is growing among residents who say pets and livestock have already paid the price. One local mother described watching a mountain lion take her cat from her front porch, just feet away from her home.

The lion at the center of the controversy is reportedly F-29, a collared, tailless mountain lion that has been linked to attacks in the Mott Road and Old Stage Road areas and was previously relocated before returning to the region.

In this commentary, Jay Martin questions whether relocation is enough, calls on local leadership to prioritize public safety, and asks how many more incidents must occur before stronger action is taken.
