Buster was caught here at Amelia Island Plantation. He had been roaming around and wasn't fixed. So I we trapped him and have had him here at the nature center ever since. He's been neutered and had all his shots. He is soo sweet! It takes him about a minute to warm up to you, but then he loves pets and to play. His purr motor doesn't stop! We love having him here, but he needs a home where he can get more attention! If you would like to give him a loving home (indoors) or know someone that needs a great cat, let us know!

Skippy the squirrel rescue
Rat snake
During my first week of working at the nature center I went to get a book from the bookcase and glanced over to the mouse's tank...and there was a yellow rat snake on top of it, sizing up its next meal. I called Chris and Windy, (worked in the store) and we tried to catch it, unsuccessfully. It ended up crawling through a crack in the door. We see it periodically outside the nature center, catching rays and protecting the nature center (haha).
what's in the log?
baby possums
Our favorite animal rescues were two baby possums that came in last summer. Their mom (and them) were hit by a car nearby and unfortunately mom did not make it. They had just gotten big enough to leave mom's pouch and were found climbing around. We named them Simon and Rascal. Their first night they got a bath to get rid of fleas, and this photo was taken afterwards. (note*possums do NOT like to take baths).
