Kathy G.

Kathy grew up on a small family farm where animals were a huge part of her life, but when she had to care for a tiny orphaned newborn raccoon in 1998, she had a lot to learn. She found all the information she could and with around the clock feedings, the baby thrived and was eventually released back into the wild. Kathy now specializes in raccoons but also takes in squirrels, opossums, skunks, porcupines, groundhogs and foxes - about 50 animals each year. She's fortunate to have supportive loved ones who understand she just can't turn away an animal in need.
