I spent about two months at Critter Care and I can honestly say that I miss that place dearly. When I first arrived at Critter Care, the other interns and my supervisors as well as Gail Martin who runs the place greeted me. I felt like I was being welcomed into someone’s home. And in just a few days, I felt like it was my home too. I made the best friends at Critter Care. I met the most interesting people, people who had the same interests as me. During the time I spent there, we had a 3-week period where we had only 3 interns including myself. But that didn’t seem to matter to us. We got up together every day, worked hard and took care of our babies (the animals). We got into the habit of calling them our own. I never thought I would be working with wild animals in all my life. It’s a surreal experience.

I am sitting down to write this testimonial on the computer here at Critter Care, immediately after I have just finished my final day here. It has been 9 weeks since I first arrived here, and I am both sad to leave, and excited to move on to the next adventure.
I found out about Critter Care through the internet, and searched the web-page, pausing most thoroughly at the testimonials, as you, the reader, are doing presently. I had always wanted to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, but before deciding upon Critter Care, I wanted to know what the people who had come through here had to say about their time at Critter Care. The message I got was, that it is very hard work, that it is not for sissies, and that it is a life-changing learning experience. It was all of those things, and more, since of course I was able to have fun!
