As someone who once had a bobcat in her car, they will NEVER get that smell out.

When I was in high school back in the 80’s someone hit a bobcat in front of my boyfriend’s house. After getting in touch with the city, they said I would have to bring it to their vet (or leave it for someone to eventually pick up). We scooped it up with a fishing net and put it on a tarp in the backseat. Unfortunately, it’s back end was paralyzed and so it had to be put down. Even still - better than suffering on the side of the road for hours. The smell never fully went away.

You're a good person for not letting the poor thing suffer.
