The rusty-spotted cat’s habitat is restricted to India and Sri Lanka, and these populations have adapted to such different types of environments, they have been separated into two subspecies, r. rubiginosus India and r. phillipsi Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka, they prefer the thick, tropical forests, and in India, they take to the dry grasslands and open forests. Their restricted habitat makes them one of the many threatened wildcat species in the world. According to the IUCN Red List, they’re down to 10,000 mature individuals in the world, which puts them at the ‘vulnerable’ end of the scale, and due to habitat loss caused by logging, plus the fur trade, their numbers continue to dwindle.
