Not all Raccoon rescues are the same
Rescuing a Raccoon is no walk in the park, depending on the situation; we put ourself in danger every single day. It's important to always give wildlife space and to call for help if you are not familiar with the proper care and handling of animals, you can make injuries worse or even end up injured yourself.
On this day we received a call about a Raccoon that was tangled in some garden netting, we attend rescues like this dozens of times a year. We were able to free the Raccoon and give it an examination on the scene, no injuries had been found and we released it on the spot.
Critter Care Wildlife Society News
Back in March, we had the chance to sit down with Kayra, one of our dedicated interns at Critter Care Wildlife Society. Originally from England, in this interview, he shared what drew him to Critter Care, what a typical day looked like at the time, and how the experience was shaping his future goals.
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.
