Silvia V.

In October of 1999, Silvia came across an orphaned kitten that a lady has brought in to the clinic owned by her adoptive father who was a veterinarian. Silvia took that kitten under her wing and raised him and founded a cat rescue organization a few years later. Because of her involvement trapping cats to TNR, Silvia started to come across with wildlife, from opossums to raccons eating along with the cats. It was not until 2013 when she was working for the local county shelter that someone brought in couple of or orphaned baby opossums. Silvia met a wildlife rehabber, handed over the baby opossums, and that's when her love for wildlife really began. That wildlife rehabber would become Silvia's mentor as she began training to care for injured and orphaned wildlife. Everyone knows that animals are her passion and that saving their lives means the world to her. Silvia says that her life evolves around animals and rescues, it's that simple. When she is not helping to spay and neuter cats, she is transporting sick and injured birds or wildlife to a bird rehabilitator facility (Pelican Harbor Seabird Station), or helping her wildlife rehaber mentor care for injured and orphaned wildlife and return them to the wild.
