Bobcat kitten 25-146 is beginning to open her eyes! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported her care with donations to NMWC in the past week. Her story has helped us raise almost $3000 already! Every bit counts and we appreciate everyone's contributions. You can make a donation at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/bobcatkitten25-146/ to help us care for this bobcat kitten and all of the other wild babies in our hospital this summer.

Now that 25-146 is starting to be able to see the world around her, feeding time means that our staff has to dress for the occasion. In these photos, visiting veterinarian Dr. Lily Cedarleaf-Pavy (who completed a wildlife rehabilitation internship with us in 2022 - welcome back, Dr. Lily!) is camouflaging herself with a shaggy ghillie suit, leafy hat, and dark face screen. Even the photographer, Communications Specialist Laura, was hidden under similar camouflage garb for a few quick snapshots of this midday feeding. 25-146 is doing well and still has a lot of growing to do!
