SAN ANTONIO - Three well-meaning people suffered bites when the kittens they rescued turned out to be ravenous bobcat cubs. 
 
 The rescuers discovered the bobcat cubs because they were mewling in a San Antonio alley. 
 
 The caretakers found the blue-eyed, stub-tailed pair of young bobcats Saturday and, thinking they were Bengal kittens, took them in. 
 
 They fed the bobcats milk from pet-feeding bottles, but realized something was amiss when the aggressive animals tore the bottles apart and bit them. 
 
 Animal Care Services, in conjunction with the state veterinarian and Department of State Health Services, quarantined the animals before taking them to a wildlife rescue. 
 
 The three people who were bitten by the cubs were urged to seek medical attention for their bites. 
 
 Workers initially wanted to wait in the alley -- hoping to find the mother and reunite her with the cubs. 
 
 "These bobcat kittens are now orphaned and under quarantine with our partners at Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation because someone thought they looked like house cats," ACS said in a Facebook post Monday.

The animals were later quarantined and taken to a wildlife rescue center, KSAT reports. "Wildlife really should remain IN THE WILD and it's up to us to help make that happen!"
