Some in rehab are patiently waiting for Spring so they can be released.This Juvenile Black Rat snake was caught on a traditional spring loaded snap trap. There were only minor injuries, but it's a bit too chilly to release back outside. So we wait & give enormous amounts of attitude while we wait.

I do not normally post anything like this, but it was so unexpected.
Charlotte left a mess & I sat on the floor to clean it. Then she decided to climb onto my shoulders & started to clean herself 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😆

Finally found a volunteer to clean up after Charlotte after she eats 😆

Ok, it's Charlotte, she's my new volunteer but she apparently doesn't mop. Still thankful for her help because she gets food everywhere!

Today is one of those days I dislike being a rehabilitator.
I had to make the difficult decision to let Arturo the opossum cross the rainbow bridge.Unfortunately, letting them pass peacefully is sometimes the greatest gift a wildlife rehabilitator can provide. Arturo, you were loved 💜

Charlotte decided that instead of helping me fold the animal laundry, she would climb all over it to explore. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I need better volunteers, seriously 😆

New intake:

Please Do NOT use glue traps of any kind. The are cruel & inhumane.

This is the 3rd Carolina Wren brought to me in 2 months. Plus 3 snakes.
