About Us - Hi & Welcome!

My name is Katherine and this is my little sister Elizabeth. I have been scanning the Internet for every possible resource link that could be helpful to both the novice (or curious) and the full-time professional wildlife rehabilitator. I have spent most of my life at our home in the Adirondack Mountains and, in my short time, have seen what acid rain, pesticides, and other pollutants can do to our forests, streams, lakes, and ultimately our wildlife. I want to see this waste of our natural resources turn around in my lifetime and the links and new briefs I will post at this site will be my first small step towards that end.

I am almost twelve and my little sister is five. We are both home-schooled by our Mom and Dad. Because of our interest in becoming Wildlife Rehabilitators when we grow up, our parents last year built us a “Critter Barn”. In New York State, until we turn 16 and study to become licensed rehabilitators, we can only learn about caring for and nurturing animals from working with our domestic animals, such as rabbits, snakes, turtles, salamanders, toads, frogs, fish, birds (Cockatiels & Parakeets), dogs, cats, and horses. But our farm is also a great natural habitat for chipmunks, squirrels, skunk, and woodchucks, which we only get to study from afar. A lot of other kids that wonder why we want to work with sick or injured animals instead of playing on their SONY Playstations or Nintendo’s. They just don’t know what they are missing.

Fortunately, we live near Cornell University in Ithaca, New York where they have one of the finest Colleges of Veterinary Medicine in the World. My sister is too young yet, but I know when I am old enough to go to college, this is going to be my life’s work. My Dad has always told me that when you can make your favorite hobby your profession, you will never work a day in your life. It took awhile, but I finally figured out what that meant and he’s right.

I sincerely hope that you will take advantage of our Free Email Accounts and many of the other Links. Please bookmark this site now and plan to revisit it often. I am working on all of the page layouts with my Dad right now as part of my home-schooling homework. Thanks again for stopping by and we hope to see you later.

If you have any suggestions for our site please let me know at KDeal@WildlifeRehabilitators.com Bye for now and thanks again for visiting.
