🦝 It's Raccoon Kit Season!🦝
Have you been spotting more raccoons around your property lately? You're not alone!
Late spring and early summer are peak times for raccoons to raise their kits. During this time, female raccoons are busy searching for safe, sheltered places to care for their young and unfortunately, attics, chimneys, sheds, and crawl spaces often make the perfect nursery.

A few things to keep in mind:
🐾 Seeing a raccoon out during the day doesn't automatically mean it's sick. Raccoons often venture out during daylight hours to find food for their growing kits.
🐾 If you hear scratching, thumping, or chattering noises in your attic, there may be a raccoon family nearby.
🐾 Never attempt to remove a mother raccoon or her kits yourself. Separating them can create bigger problems and may leave young animals stranded.

If you suspect raccoons have moved into your home or outbuilding, it's best to have the situation professionally inspected to ensure the animals can be removed safely.

We are wearing blue THIS Wednesday!

📣 LA PORTE COUNTY: Let’s show up BIG on Wednesday! 📣

Wear BLUE this Wednesday, 5-27-2026, to stand with Deputy Jon Samuelson, his family, the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office, 911 dispatchers, first responders, and the entire Franciscan Health Michigan City team. 💙

Schools, businesses, organizations, and families across La Porte County are coming together to show support and solidarity. Post your blue, tag your friends, your school, your workplace, and use so we can flood social media with support from every corner of our community.

🌿🐾 What’s Happening This Month in Wildlife – April Edition! 🐾🌿

Spring is here, and that means kit season is in full swing! 🌸 This month, you may start noticing more wildlife activity around your home—and chances are, it’s because proud moms are raising their young nearby.

👀 Who to watch for this month:
• 🦝 Raccoons – nesting in attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces with their kits
• 🐿️ Squirrels – busy raising kits in trees and sometimes inside homes
• 🐺 Coyotes – caring for pups and becoming more protective of their territory
• 🐾 Opossums – carrying tiny joeys in their pouches
• 🐰 Rabbits – nesting in yards, often hidden in grass or landscaping
• 🦫 Beavers & Muskrats – raising kits near ponds, lakes, and waterways

⚠️ What this means for you:
During this time, wildlife may be more active, more visible, and more defensive than usual. If you hear scratching, chirping, or movement in your home, it could be a mother and her kits. If you come across a nest or kits, it’s best to keep your distance.

📞 Give us a call if you need us—we’re happy to help!

Happy International Beaver Day! 🦫

🎉Happy St. Patrick's Day!🍀

🌎🐾 Happy World Wildlife Day! 🐾🌎

Today we celebrate the incredible animals that share our world from the tiniest creatures to the ones that wander our own backyards. Wildlife plays an important role in keeping our ecosystems balanced and thriving.

When wildlife finds its way into homes or businesses, we focus on responsible removal and prevention so they can return to where they belong.

Coexisting with wildlife starts with understanding and care.💚
