Michelle goes to rehab

Michelle had a day off from school so she and I decided we'd go out to the North Coast Rehab Center to see what's what

Sharnelle Fee, who manages the place had picked up a BOBCAT the previous week and Michelle was keen on getting to see it. This animal was discovered with some sort of trauma to the hind leg which required surgery. It is now doing quite well.

Michelle then helped out with some of the routine maintenance which includes swimming the waterrfowl and cleaning cages.

As most wildlife rehab folk will tell you, some patients never fully recover to be released back into the wild and instead become members of the facility.
