Our afternoon started with feeding our Feral Cats: Mr.Jingles, Aladdin, and Cameron. We then were visited by a very special guest, Franklin the Tortoise! Franklin is a 9 year old, 52 pound tortoise owned by HSCC staff Joann Nichols who rehabilitates wildlife and therefore has special permission from VT to own exotic reptiles such as Franklin. We were able to watch Franklin explore outside while eating veggies & berries. We learned about tortoise anatomy and behavior as well. Thank you Franklin for coming to visit us!
After time with Franklin & snack we talked about how to handle smallies (approach calmly, pick up slowly, keep close to your body, support back feet, and make sure all feet are on the ground before letting go). Then campers were treated to a special surprise: Kittens! They just arrived to HSCC and will be available for adoption soon!
