I mean, if you're just hanging around this week, you might as well buy your tickets to A Wild Affair! 😉

Our three bobcat kittens seem to have mastered the art of lounging, but behind all that cuteness is a whole lot of work! These growing wildcats will be in our care for nearly a year before they're ready for release next spring. That's months of specialized diets, enrichment, veterinary care, and safe spaces to grow and develop the skills they'll need to survive in the wild.

And that's exactly why A Wild Affair is so important! Our biggest fundraiser of the year helps us provide the resources and care that patients like these three depend on every single day.

Speaking of growing up, our little bobcats are finally learning to take the high road! While bobcats spend much of their time on the ground, they're excellent climbers and use elevated spaces to rest, hide, observe their surroundings, and escape danger. Our trio has recently discovered their highest hammocks and hiding spots, and they're making excellent use of them!

Come hang out with us at A Wild Affair on November 7th! Every ticket helps give wildlife like these three a second chance. 🎟️ https://RMWildAffair.auctria.events

🧡 **To Remember Is to Live Forever** 🧡

This year, our team decided to do something a little different. We created an ofrenda to honor and remember some of the wildlife patients who never made it to release.

An ofrenda is a traditional altar created for Día de los Mu***os, or Day of the Dead, a Mexican holiday that celebrates and honors loved ones who have passed. Adorned with photographs, flowers, candles, and meaningful offerings, it serves as a beautiful reminder that those we have lost continue to live on through our memories.

In wildlife rehabilitation, there is often little time to grieve. For every patient we lose, another is waiting for our help. We carry those losses quietly, often moving straight from heartbreak to the next life that needs saving. While we grieve the patients we've lost, we also honor and celebrate the lives they lived, the impact they had on us, and the lessons they left behind.

Each life, no matter how brief, has touched ours in a meaningful way. What they taught us lives on through the care we provide, the compassion we carry, and the future lives we are able to save because of them.

Our ofrenda gives our team a moment to hold space, reflect, and honor those lives, not with sadness, but with gratitude for all they taught us.

Though they may be gone, their legacy lives on in every life we save moving forward. 🧡

Our bobcat trio hit a BIG milestone last week. For the first time, all three are officially living together!

You may remember that our youngest bobcat arrived at the end of September, much, much smaller than the two kittens we've been raising since spring. And while we hoped they would become companions, bobcats don't always welcome newcomers.

After she completed quarantine and received her final vaccines, we began the careful process of introductions. Fortunately, our facility has two adjoining enclosures that allow the cats to get nose-to-nose through a barrier without direct contact. For a week, our team closely monitored their interactions, watching for signs of aggression, predatory behavior, or distress.

When everyone seemed comfortable, we moved all three into our largest enclosure, a neutral space where none of them had established territory.

And it's safe to say the introduction was a HUGE success!

Our little girl has been welcomed into the group, and she's proving to be quite the confident young bobcat! She and our oldest male became fast friends, while the older female seems perfectly content to observe the action from a distance or a high perch.

Having companions gives these growing wildcats opportunities to interact, play, and develop important behaviors as they prepare for life in the wild.

Three bobcats, three very different personalities, and one very exciting step forward in their rehabilitation!

In medicine, things have a strange way of happening in clusters. Unfortunately, wildlife rehabilitation is no exception.

Just weeks after successfully treating our short-tailed weasel for rodenticide poisoning, we found ourselves facing another suspected poisoning case, this time involving a young Red-tailed Hawk. Last weekend, a family returned home from the mountains to find the hawk sitting near their garage. When approached, he struggled to fly, managing only a few feet before crashing into the garage door. He appeared disoriented and allowed his rescuers to pick him up without resistance.

Upon intake, we found signs of head trauma and unusual neurological behavior. We were concerned about several possibilities, including West Nile Virus and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

But then something caught our attention.

After drawing blood for diagnostics, we noticed that his blood wasn't clotting. A closer examination revealed that he was also slowly bleeding beneath his skin at the blood collection site. Suddenly, the pieces started coming together. These findings raised serious concerns about anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning, and our team quickly began treatment to stabilize him and address the bleeding.

It's a sobering reminder that poisons used to control rodents don't always stop with their intended targets. Predators and scavengers can be exposed by eating poisoned prey, while pets and even children can be harmed through direct exposure.

Our young hawk still has a long road ahead, but his story is another reason to think twice before reaching for rodenticides. The consequences can reach far beyond the animals they were intended to control.
