Helping Hands

Critter Care would like to say a heartfelt, thank you, to these wonderful people that got together in the community to come in and help us onsite for the day.


They accomplished so much. They did everything, from receiving and putting away food, deep cleaning enclosures that are now empty, cleaning and organizing our kibble container to even yard work and painting.They were a great group, smiling and happy all day.


We truly enjoyed having them onsite and working with them, we are so grateful 

for everything that they did. We look forward to having them back next year.

We would like to say a huge thank you to these 5 wonderful ladies from Coast Capital Savings.


They worked so hard removing old gravel and replacing it with new gravel in one of the empty bear enclosures. They were a joy to work with, always smiling and laughing.

 

We can not thank you enough for everything you did.  We hope to see you back next year!

A Heartwarming Reunion

This precious little fawn and its’ sibling were born outside a church window while a service was happening. We believe it could have been a bear that scared the mom off. 

The mom took the sibling but by morning, people from the church noticed the baby was still there and knew it needed help to survive. 


They called Critter Care and one of the staff members went out and got the fawn and brought it back to give it a full check over and

make sure everything is okay, as well as to get some nutrition into the sweet little one.


A few days later Critter Care Staff spoke with the church and found out the mother deer was back with her other fawn. Everyone worked to get the baby ready to go back

and be with mom because that is the best place for them to be. It was such a heart warming site, we were not even there for five minutes, and the mother deer had already come out to get her baby. 


Just shows us, that we should never underestimate the love these mothers 

have for their babies

On January 24th, 2024, Critter Care received a call for a disoriented juvenile raccoon in a Vancouver front yard. Staff noticed some unusual behaviour and sounds coming from the raccoon on arrival at the scene, which raised concerns. During his car journey to the centre, the raccoon continued to make abnormal sounds. Our staff couldn't yet determine what was causing these symptoms.
