In business we have had some great moments, memories, and experiences. We wanted to share our passion, and best moments with everyone!

This is Penelope. We got a call out of Oakland Township stating that a baby raccoon had fallen about 30 feet out of a tree. Her brother fell too, unfortunately he fell from far higher and didn’t make it. Mom sadly left and never returned to the nest. We estimated at the time of pick up she was around 4 weeks old.

Penny stayed with us for almost two weeks while we searched for a rehabber to take her. At that time, winter struck terribly up north and a storm devastated miles of wildlife area. It was also raccoon kit season & the already overloaded rehabbers couldn’t keep up. During that time we had to bottle feed her, & we pulled dozens of ticks from her ears. She ended up going to Wildlife’s 2nd Chance rescue in Bellevue, to get trained on how to be a raccoon and release onto 1o acres of wildlife heaven!

While one of our team was on an inspection in New Baltimore, he started hearing the sounds of bats chirping in the attic. After moving to the connected garage portion of the home, the noises grew louder. He had stumbled upon a maternal colony of bats!

Raccoon Family Rescue!

One morning we got a call out of Macomb for a raccoon living in a chimney. Little did we know there would be five babies to rescue!

We built a chimney cradle for our trap, set our trap up and begun our service!

Within the first night, we caught Mom! When we when to pull the trap in the morning, we discovered there was five babies hiding in our chimney cradle as close to mom as they could get! Working fast, Alexander was able to grab two of the babies before they could bolt down. After reuniting the two capture kits with Mom on the ground, Alexander went back to work on getting the other three kits out.

For two and half hours Alexander tried multiple methods of retrieval, after finally coming up with the idea of using Mom and babies to attract the other three back up. Doing so would require us to return later that night due to the extreme heat & sunshine that day. That night Alexander would secure a trap with Mom and the two kits to a trap that had a one way door on it. Allowing for the kids to enter the trap, but not exit. After making sure they where secure for the night, we waited.

Success! After having captured the three stragglers, Alex returned them the same cage as Mom, releasing them as a family unit at our wildlife sanctuary.
