Mortimer the Field Mouse was another cat attack case. Although he lost a couple of small patches of hair, he was otherwise unhurt. After less than a day in a warm room with plenty of food, he was pleading to stay.

Pepe Le PU came to us as a seven ounce orphan. He left us three months later weighing a healthy five pounds.

Little Orphan "Annie" pictured here failed this first attempt to release her in her natural habitat. However, she was good enough to allow us to get this beautiful picture of her. Three days later, she agreed it was time to explore the world and has not been seen since.

Birth Defects

"Stumpy" was an unusual case.  He was born with many birth defects that caused us to question his chances for survival after release.  We tested his ability to climb trees. As you see, he had no problem climbing this large elm.  Coming down was a bit more precarious of a feat for him. 

MATERNITY WARD 



It is very unusual for a pregnant raccoon to end up in rehab but a few years ago we accepted two pregnant females. The pictures are not very clear but there are four newborns who became celebrities within an hour of birth.

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

Fortunately, the majority of our residents are healthy orphans. Their mother may have been killed by a car, a person or another animal. Sadly, a number of babies arrive with life threatening injuries that require intensive attention.
