August (Gus for short) on the left was Admitted on May 11, 2017 after he and his mom were chased by a dog. The dog grabbed the baby by its neck. We tried to reunite baby with mom but to no success. His wound, however, is healing nicely.
Blossum on the right was Admitted on May 12, 2017 after being found crying alone in a ditch. She was taken to a Vets office in Abbotsford and the Doctor there brought her into Critter Care. She was extremely frightened and panicky but over the course of a couple of days she settled right down with the comfort of the male fawn. She cuddled right up to him.
They are now outside in the fawn enclosure shed until they become stronger. They are given a few minutes of exercise after each feeding where they romp around the fawn enclosure compound. They will eventually be given full freedom in the enclosure once they become more relaxed in their environment.

Critter Care Wildlife Society News
In July 2023, Critter Care Wildlife Society received two special arrivals — Monroe and Hepburn, two raccoons rescued from the movie industry. Unfortunately, their time in the spotlight wasn’t glamorous.
As the winter snow finally melts away, our bears have begun to wake from their winter dormancy period. Unlike true hibernation, black bears enter a state called "torpor." Torpor is a period of deep lethargy where their metabolic rate, heart rate, and breathing rate slow down significantly.
If you received our previous newsletters in the mail, you probably remember our two bobcat kittens, Teetonka and Kaya. These Mission-native sisters have completed their journey with us and have now been released back into the wild.
