If I could only show you what I see everyday, you would look at our wildlife differently.
Yes…even coyotes.

Elle saw him on the highway. He was next to his deceased sibling, who had been hit by one of the many cars racing by. He was hungry, he was alone and he was absolutely terrified.

All of our raccoon enclosures are full. I’m still trying to figure out where he is going to go - but how could I turn him away? I’m not permitted to build any more enclosures on our current property.

After all this tiny creature has endured, the least we can offer him is a warm, safe incubator and a full belly.

It is situations like this one yesterday that make be bound and determined to build our wildlife clinic - and ready to jump through whatever hoops are necessary to make it happen.

Banks and sponsors want to know how we will fund it after it’s built. I have said over and over again, our followers will not let us fail. It’s been proven again and again over the past eight years.

Looking in his eyes last night completely reinvigorated me. This clinic will be built…because they need it. We can and will do it - but I’m going to need your help more than ever.

I took this picture so I could stare into his eyes every time I feel doubt. Every time I question whether I can do it or not. He is, and they all are, my motivation.

Looking at a property for our new clinic today. We need good vibes/prayers or whatever it is you believe in. We need this so badly.

He was out there in the dark looking for one thing - his mother. She had been missing for days. He had mustered up the courage to leave the den in search of her. The little baby skunk wasn’t out long before he was captured and placed in a box - which terrified him. He was hungry, scared and missing his mom when he arrived at the rescue.

The last thing he wanted to see were a bunch of tall looming figures around him when that box opened. It seemed that it would all end here for him. He was ready to fight. Tail up - teeth showing. He was ready to spray, bite or do whatever it took as it was clear to him this was the end of the line.

To his surprise, he was gently and carefully picked up and placed in a small enclosed space. When the door closed behind him, he looked up…and there she was. The one thing he had been searching for - there was his mother.

She had been caught in a fence days prior and had suffered spinal trauma that rended her unable to walk. She had been rescued by caring people and brought to us so her life could be spared. She’d needed time to rest, to recover—and in all that time, her spirit had been dimmed. But the moment she saw him, everything changed.

This was one of the few times we were able to offer an orphan exactly what its little heart was looking for. He ran to her and buried his face under hers. She lit up for the first time since she has been here and immediately covered him with her front paws - as if to hug him and protect him.

We will continue to look her remaining babies, but last night - this moment was everything…

Their bodies tell me a story that their mouths can not. Her body tells me she is a mother and there are young babies waiting for her somewhere. Her mammary glands are large and full of milk.

She was found wedged in a fence and no one knows exactly how long she was there - it could have been days. She tries to walk but collapses when she does. We are working on stabilizing her.

In the meantime, we have others in the area keeping an eye out for her babies. After 24 hours without mom - hungry babies will often start to wonder outside the den looking for her.

Mom hasn’t even attempted to spray us. Though she is eating, she looks so sad. We are hoping we can find her little ones and make this story have a happy ending.

A huge thank you to Anne who was brave enough to cut her free from the fence for her neighbor and get her into care. 🙏❤️🙏

It was 2 am when Officer Kenney witnessed a mother opossum get hit by a car. Some of her babies had been thrown from her. Officer Kenney was able to remove the ones tucked inside her pouch - for mom did not survive the impact.

She rushed over to us as soon as she got off her shift. The tiny 15 gram babies were all safe, warm and tucked away thanks to this officer’s kindness. Eight tiny lives were saved. They would not have survived very long at all out there without such an angel watching over them.

Thank you Officer Kenney for having such a kind and empathetic heart. The world is a better place with you in it and these babies have a second chance at life due to your quick actions. 🙏❤️🙏

My one wish for every orphan we receive is to find their family and reunite them. Sometimes the parent is deceased and it just isn’t possible. Though, in the case of this baby Cooper’s hawk - it was. That being said, it was no easy task.

He had injuries from his fall that needed treatment. After that, his nest needed to be found and we needed to get him back into it. Keep in mind, that nest was WAY up high in a tree with angry parents flying overhead.

It took multiple people working together to make that second photo possible. After a long hard day yesterday, seeing the photo of this baby back home with his family was everything. ❤️❤️❤️

A big thank you to my team, Dr. Vasilakis, Andrew Joslin, Friends of Horn Pond and Cape Ann Wildlife for helping to make all of this possible. We accomplish so much when we are willing to work together for the betterment of these innocent creatures. 🙏🙏🙏

Today has been a particularly hard day. I usually don’t mention these things but it’s not even 1:00 pm and I have already been handed two babies from two separate finders that were kept too long and that I couldn’t save. One was a horrific death to witness. I have someone threatening to release four baby orphaned raccoons into the woods to die if I dont take them and we already have too many.

I have been arguing with those I am supposed to be collaborating with to save a few other orphans in need and it looks like I will lose the battle - and in the end - innocent animals will pay the price.

And this is every day. It’s…every…single…day….

But today it feels extra heavy. Today I need to take a minute. I’ll be back in full force soon, but the world definitely got me today.
