Every season we meet some amazing, caring animal lovers. It’s certainly a perk of working with animals when you meet people just like yourself. Many want to help the best they can, but unfortunately the first thing people think is “I should give this baby some food.” I’m writing today to *beg*… when you find injured or orphaned wildlife, please do NOT feed them—especially babies. Their bodies are not built for human food, cow’s milk, or human milk, and the wrong food can cause bloating, diarrhea, dehydration, aspiration pneumonia, and even death.

The most helpful thing you can do is:

• Gently place the animal in a small box with a soft cloth.
• Keep it warm, dark, and quiet to reduce stress.
• Keep children and pets away.
• Do not offer food or water. Instead, wait for instructions from a licensed wildlife rehabilitator

Doing less is actually doing more. Keep them safe and calm, and call a rehabber and remember…don’t feed them.

Thank you! 🐾🦌🦝🐿️🦊🐦‍⬛🦉🦨🐾

Last night, Catskill Mountain Wildlife Rehabilitation rehabbers responded to a heartbreaking late-night call for an injured porcupine.

Around midnight in Mount Tremper, the finder, Emma, witnessed a porcupine being struck by a car and immediately stopped, safely picked up the injured animal, and called Mikayla for help. Mikayla reached out to our group, and together they coordinated emergency transport so this porcupine would not suffer alone on the side of the road.

Emma then drove the porcupine all the way to Athens, where Jess was waiting to receive her despite the late hour. Once the porcupine arrived, Jess administered pain medication and worked to make her as comfortable and calm as possible while carefully assessing her injuries.

Trauma from vehicle collisions can be catastrophic for wildlife, and even with immediate care, some injuries are simply too severe to overcome. Despite everyone's best efforts, this porcupine passed peacefully around 3 a.m. We are deeply grateful to Emma for stopping, to Mikayla for acting so quickly, and to Jess for opening her doors at midnight and providing compassionate care.

Hope everyone is enjoying this Thursday as much as Pika and Nibbles are enjoying their veggies! 🥕

These two orphaned babies may be small, but their appetites are anything but. Woodchucks are herbivores, meaning their diet consists almost entirely of plant material. As Pika and Nibbles grow in rehabilitation, they're being introduced to a variety of greens and vegetation to help prepare them for the foods they'll find in the wild.

Pictured you see Nibbles eating sweet potato 🍠 and Pika eating a bell pepper 🫑

Happy Sunday!☀️🦌

Wildlife rehabilitation isn't always cute babies getting bottles. Sometimes animals arrive in critical condition and every minute & action counts.

This year, we are working with FFF to learn about fawns.

Tyffani was able to pick up this fawn yesterday after its mother had been hit by a vehicle a day prior. After a bit of a chase to secure this baby, it was dehydrated, hungry, and needed immediate fluids & supportive care.

Many people only see the happy recovery photos, but the reality is that some intakes are emergencies requiring quick intervention, specialized care, and around the clock monitoring. It’s also important to remember there are many other wildlife intakes in all of our rehabbers care who also depend on daily feedings, medications, treatments, and cleaning.

🎉🦉Exciting news for CMWR! 🦊🐿️🎉

We are proud to announce that Tonya and Tyffani have officially been upgraded to Class II Wildlife Rehabilitators with NYSDEC!

This milestone represents years of dedication, hands-on experience, education, and countless hours spent caring for injured and orphaned wildlife. Wildlife rehabilitation is not just rescuing animals - it's long days and late nights, difficult cases, and an unwavering commitment to giving wildlife a second chance.

So what does Class II mean?
A Class II Wildlife Rehabilitator is a licensed professional who holds a higher-tier credential from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
(DEC). This authorizes them to train and supervise assistant wildlife rehabilitators. To apply for this license, you must be a Class I Wildlife Rehabilitator for at least 2 years with NYS and submit an approved training outline.

That being said - If you've ever wanted to become involved, learn more, or pursue becoming a licensed rehabilitation assistant, reach out to us! 🐾

We are incredibly proud and grateful to continue growing so we can help even more wildlife in need.

It’s been a very busy 24 hours!
I (Tonya) took in an itty bitty chippy that was caught by a feral cat this morning! Finder Wendy found it last night and did a great job of warming it up.

A few hours later, finder Kirsten called me and I took in 6 orphaned opossums—4 females and 2 males. Kirsten reported 4 were found dead in the yard. Also there were chunks of fur, but no mom. Babies are warming up in the incubator.

Tyffani took in three buns, and went on a wild goose chase trying to locate a lost fawn in Catskill.

Robyn secured an adult groundhog with a head injury.

I’m sure I am missing something …

Three unusual participants joined the Kids’ Heart Challenge at Greenville Central School today.

The event was lively, with Taylor Swift’s “Look what you made me do” playing loudly from the speakers —Right. Under. The. Nest.

These young starlings, not yet able to fly, were safely captured and returned to their nest by Tonya and Kayla.

Meet Pika 💕

Tuesday night, Tyffani took in this tiny female woodchuck after a kind finder spotted her laying in the middle of the road. She was nearly run over multiple times before the finder jumped into action and saved her from the traffic.

This sweet little girl loves cuddles and food! She’s now warm, safe, and has settled in quite well.

Welcome to CMWR, little Pika 🦫

Took in this little one today. Her name is Vorie (a twist on where she was found, Voorheesville). Thanks to my colleague, Laura, who messaged me early this morning and said, “Tonya! I’m bringing in a baby chipmunk!”
