Rescuing Treasure: A Heartwarming Tale of Second Chances at Critter Care Wildlife Society

Late on May 14th, near a Richmond school, two caring people heard crying from a garbage can. They went closer, opened the lid, and searched through the bin, trying to find the source of the cries. After a while, they realized the sound was coming from a tied garbage bag. When they opened it, they were shocked to see a baby raccoon inside. This poor little creature had been thrown away like trash, left to suffer and die.


The two women acted quickly and called Critter Care Wildlife Society for help. One of the staff members rushed to the scene to rescue the baby raccoon. The little one was in terrible shape - weak, dehydrated, and covered in maggots. It was a tough challenge, but the team at Critter Care worked hard day and night to save her.


They named her Treasure, as she was a precious gem to them. Despite her rough start, Treasure showed incredible strength and resilience. With love and care, she slowly got better and made a full recovery.


Treasure's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion and second chances. At Critter Care, we are dedicated to helping animals like Treasure and giving them the care they deserve. Together with our community, staff, and volunteers, we work to make a positive impact on wildlife rehabilitation.


Every life is valuable, and Treasure's journey inspires us to continue our mission. We are proud to be part of her story and many others like her.
