We were very lucky to have these volunteers come and help us. They work for NYCM Ins. and that company allows them so many hours for volunteer work. Everyone worked really hard and we got a lot accomplished. Left to Right: Joyce, Rebecca, Shawn, Austin, Parker, and of course Vinnie.

We went and picked up this orphaned fawn but she died overnight. Her mom had been killed by a car and I don’t know how long she had been alone.

OMG I can’t thank you all enough. I have someone who is buying us a brand new one. But I am overwhelmed by the offers of help. Love you all!❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am in desperate need of an electric washing machine for the wildlife center. We purchased this just over a year ago and the computer board is trashed. If you are in the process of getting a new one to replace a working older one please consider a donation of your old one to us.

A couple weeks ago we were called by a gentleman who told me there had been a raccoon on his neighbor’s roof for three days. He had called everybody and could find no help. There were tree cutters next door who refused to help. Vinnie and I went to see what we could do. It was 84 degrees that day and 74 the day before. Imagine how hot it had to be on a roof with no water. We kept watch on the roof and finally the raccoon went to the other side of the roof right to the edge. There were trees on that side but no attempt to climb down. That was a dead giveaway that something was wrong. So the guy put up an extension ladder and Vinnie went up with a net. He got him down from the roof, but then everything became clear. After I got the raccoon out of the net, I knew what happened. The raccoon had distemper so his eyes were completely “glued” shut. There was no climbing for the poor guy. Photos are in the comments. He died overnight.
