A bit of a dramatic rescue took place a few days ago. We were contacted from Ft St James after a mother porcupine was fatally hit on the highway. Passerbyers stopped and witnessed a newborn porcupette, Now the race was on to get her help and our chain of love once again took beautiful shape.
Transport volunteers raced to Ft St James to pick up the little one and Cory from Nechako Valley Animal Health Services agreed to offer first aide services overnight. After surviving the night the little one once again was picked up by transport volunteers and made it to Smithers safely. It is suspected that the porcupette was born prematurely due to the accident and we turned to Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Nova Scotia for expert advice. With Brenda's kind guidance little "Cuddles" is thriving and giving all of us a lot of joy.
Once again it proves that together we can make the impossible possible. A HUGE Thank You to all involved to give Cuddles a second chance.
