In an effort to tell their stories of survival and highlight the diverse number of species that we rehabilitate, we try to share some of their stories here.

Opossum Tales

By Sarvey Wildlife / Monday, October 19, 2020 /

Two adult opossums in care. One male and one female, both recovering from wounds and lacerations. One was attacked by a cat and the other was caught in a rat trap. The rat trap was stuck on one of his feet and our vet, Dr. Kovar was able to amputate an injured toe and saved his foot. He should heal well and be able to adapt so we can release him. Please remember to only use rat and mouse traps in secure areas that will not be found by wildlife or pets. We see many injuries like these that are preventable. Status: released
