Eastern Box Turtle Babies in People Magazine

Our baby Eastern Box Turtles are officially celebrities!
A huge thank you to People Magazine, Raven Brunner, and Denise Domlesky for sharing the incredible story of our newly hatched, conjoined Eastern Box Turtle babies with the world!
These little shells of sunshine may only be a few weeks old, but they’re already stealing hearts nationwide. While tiny in size, they carry a BIG reminder of why protecting threatened species like the Eastern Box Turtle matters so deeply. Listed as threatened in Virginia since 2021, every hatchling is a hopeful step forward for conservation.
We couldn’t be more proud of our hatchlings — and we’re pretty sure they’re blushing under their shells from all the attention.

Thank you again, People Magazine, for helping us spread awareness far beyond our state and for shining a light on the amazing wildlife we work to protect every day.

WSLS/NBC Bobcat Cam

We are soo very excited to announce WSLS (NBC) has added a 24-hour livestream camera to our center! You can watch these bobcat kittens at any time on WSLS’s website here, until they are released in the Spring!
These orphaned siblings arrived at our center in August 2023. They were just over a week old and full of worms. Luckily, they have made a remarkable recovery! We estimate the cost of their care to be in the thousands. So, if you find it in your heart to show them some love this Valentine’s Day, you can make a donation for the duo here.

First Bobcat Kitten of the Year!!!

We recently received our first Bobcat of the year from Giles County yesterday. The kitten is currently recovering from severe neurological trauma and her prognosis is guarded.
She was found dazed and circling on the side of the road in Giles County. Given the location she was found and the severe neurologic symptoms we suspect she was most likely struck by a car.
It is highly unusual to see such a well developed Bobcat this early in the year. Usually, Bobcats have offspring in April or May but given this mild winter we aren’t entirely surprised. She weighs 2.4kg and when not sedated is still rather feisty, which is a good sign! X-rays were negative for any fractures, and is on medications for pain, swelling, fever and neurological trauma.
