CROW transfers patients to partner centers
The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife reported that staff recently transferred 26 patients to the Peace River Wildlife Center and one patient to the Conservancy of Southwest Florida for continued care. Among the transfers were baby doves, opossums, bunnies, a duckling and an Eastern screech owl. While CROW is back on Sanibel following the hurricane, there is much to do, including rebuilding its enclosures. CROW reported that without the outdoor rehabilitation spaces, its patients will need to be transferred to nearby wildlife centers. Rebuilding them is CROW’s number one priority as treatment and care is stressful enough for patients and transport can be an added stressor. CROW thanked its partners for their assistance in ensuring that the patients receive the care they need for a successful release. Also, it recently reopened its Visitor Education Center and gift shop. For more information or to support CROW’s recovery, visit crowclinic.org. CROW is at 3883 Sanibel-Captiva Road, Sanibel.
