It’s spring and that means busy baby season for Critter Care rehabilitation centre who take in injured and orphaned wildlife.
“Baby season has started early this year,” said Critter Care founder Gail Martin.
“We are busy repairing some of the enclosures, getting them ready.”
Special formula is being brought in for the babies, which include raccoons, bears, fawn, beaver, otter, squirrels and more. The five bear cubs they have are awake and eating, getting ready for their release back to the wild in May.
The formula alone costs around $10,000 per year. Then there is the medication for the injured or sick animals.
That’s why Martin is urging those who have a love for B.C.’s wildlife to buy a ticket to their 14th annual dinner and auction on Saturday, April 27 at the Langley Seniors’ Centre.
The event includes a no-host bar and dinner, as well as door prizes including a sunset flight over the Gulf Islands, live and silent auction, games and more.
Tickets are $55 at 604-530-2054.
