Sound Up!📣 Last month Wolf Hollow received two young female raccoons found orphaned on Orcas Island. 🦝 These kits were rescued by a good samaritan, found next to a downed tree with no sign of parents. Our expert wildlife rehabilitators have been working around the clock to provide specialized medical care, diet, and enrichment to ensure these two continue to hit their growth milestones. This video was taken from our raccoon nursery, where staff is extra diligent about sanitation, PPE, and quarantine protocols to prevent the transfer of zoonotic diseases. 🩺 At roughly 7 weeks old, these two have much to learn before they are released into the wild-follow along on social media as we document their journey and other species' success stories along the way! 🐾 A big thanks to @Orcas Animal Protection Society for help coordinating this rescue effort! #wolfhollowwildliferehabilitationcenter #sanjuanisland #wildliferescue #savewildlife
