Ten orphaned river otters were raised at Critter Care during the summer of 2012, and only three stayed over the winter.  The three biggest and strongest fishers were released in an idyllic lake environment rich with spawning salmon on September 14th 2012.  Nearly a month later, on October 10th four more were released.  On May 11th 2013 Critter Care was able to release the remaining three river otters in an ideal habitat including fresh and saltwater environments.

Watch the release of these three river otters:

Vancouver based law firm Alexander Holburn Beaudin + Lang LLP has raised a considerable amount of funds with the sale of their new cookbook "Cooking For A Cause" and is donating the proceeds to Critter Care Wildlife Society and Lions Gate Hospital Foundation.

These funds will go towards the specialized milk formula for the babies. A huge thank you goes to Alexander Holburn Beaudin + Lang LLP, their staff and supporters and all the buyers of the cookbook!

Update on our bear cubs - January 12, 2013

NOAH, KODA, KENAI, PATCH and PEMBY

Our two biggest bears, Noah and Patch, are tucked away in their den sleeping this cold weather away. We have placed donated christmas trees and extra straw in the enclosure for them. You can see the trail of straw as they drag it from the empty den into the den they are currently using. Noah and Patch have even positioned the trees in front of their den. These are all great natural behaviors that we love to see!

Pemby has turned into a chubby cubby! He is currently in an enclosure with Koda and Kenai. All three 'little' bears are now at a good weight and are sleeping more. We have begun to cut back on their food and are encouraging them to hibernate too.
