Thomas Royce, Great Britain – 2009 Testimonial
I applied for an internship at Critter Care Wildlife Society because the prospect of going to British Columbia to raise baby animals for release back into nature was a golden opportunity for me and a potentially life changing event. Before I arrived I was made aware that, as an intern, I needed to be whole heartedly committed and that it would involve long days of strenuous work; that I would be living amongst other interns and shouldn’t expect to have a great deal of personal space; that there were a variety of jobs that I would be involved in, not all of them glamorous. With all this in mind I arrived in Vancouver airport nervous but full of excitement for the adventure ahead. Eight months on and I can safely say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made!!

The day I arrived at Critter Care was a little nerve-wracking. I knew that I was coming to this strange, new place for two months, away from everything I knew. I quickly learned that this would be quite an interesting experience. The first day was a whirlwind, being spent following interns around and trying to get oriented. Most of the interns seemed a little unfriendly, but I quickly realized that they were just busy and tired, feelings that I would experience firsthand in a couple days. I went to bed on my first night a little exhausted from all the excitement and nervous for what was ahead.

After my first stint as a raccoon mom at Critter Care, I'd often speak fondly of my time there. I used my internship as part of a project for school, and enjoyed looking back at my photos and remembering the cute animals and good friends I made. This spring, one of the girls I interned with last time got hired on as a supervisor and put the pressure on for me to come out to work again. I thought about it for a while, then figured why not? I just finished my first year of classes in animal health technology and would someday like to use my training to go into wildlife or shelter medicine.
