A Heartwarming Reunion: A Fawn's Journey Back to Family

A mother deer and fawn reunited

Unexpected beginnings

This precious little fawn and it's sibling were born at a church in front of a window while a service was happening. We believe it could have been a bear that scared the mom off.  The mom took the sibling but by morning people from the church noticed the baby was still there and knew it needed help to survive.  


A call for help

They promptly contacted Critter Care, and one of our dedicated staff members quickly responded by retrieving the fawn. It was carefully brought back for a comprehensive health assessment, ensuring its well-being and providing essential nourishment to the delicate creature.


A Mother's Love Prevails

A few days later Critter Care Staff spoke with the church and found out the mother deer was back with her other fawn.  Everyone worked to get the baby ready to go back and be with mom because that is the best place for them to be.  I was such a wonderful site,  we were not even there for five minutes and the mother deer had already come out to get her baby.  This heartwarming experience underscores the profound depth of maternal affection and reminds us never to underestimate the powerful bond these mothers share with their young.
