OUR FIRST ADMISSION 2021
MOSES As told by his daddy--- “On the 1st of April 2021, the first baby raccoon of the spring season was brought into Critter Care, orphaned and alone. Like a lot of the animals that come into our care, we cannot be 100% sure what happened, but it was clear that his mom had not been around for a while as he was dehydrated and had an empty stomach. Weighing a minuscule 136 grams and without his siblings, the little guy had a tough few days before getting to us.
My mind instantly went to the story of Moses who was sent down the river in a basket, found alone and orphaned, just like our little raccoon. Moses was the “chosen” one sent to lead his people to freedom. Our little raccoon has now been dubbed Moses, as he is the first of the season.
Unfortunately, a lot of raccoons will come into our care this baby season. Moses is the “chosen” raccoon, sent to us in order to lead all the little critters back to their natural habitat, to freedom, when they are big enough and will not only just survive but thrive in the wild.”
