Helping Hands
A very big thank you, to the Newton Value Village, as well as the Manager, Michelle Fourchalk, and to the wonderful staff there as well. They go above and beyond to support Critter Care
and we are so grateful for it. Their donations help so many animals with different things for enrichment to help them grow strong and healthy so they can be released back to the wild.
Thank you for your continued support, it is greatly appreciated!
Joel is in Grade 5 at Langley Fundamental Elementary and recently participated in an Entrepreneur Fair where each Grade 5 student had to come up with a product that they would create and sell to the school community. They were permitted to spend a maximum of $20, had to make a minimum of 20 items, and were encouraged to use recycled materials.
Joel designed a bow out of branches trimmed from a tree in his yard, elastic, and duct tape. He sold the bow, along with two wooden skewer arrows and two cardboard targets and made 50 sets. The students were required to donate at least 10% of their profits to charity, and Joel committed to donating 45% of the money he made to Critter Care.
Joel has always loved animals of all kinds!
Thank you very much Joel!
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.
