GOOD EVENING WILDLIFE LOVERS!!

Blackstone Valley Animal Control strikes again! Assisting wildlife to find the right place to land for a while when in their time of need.

Tuesday, June 23, year 2026. At around 8:30-9pm ACO Banner received a call about a doe struck by a car. Unfortunately when she arrived on scene the doe was already deceased. However, the doe was actively going through the process of postmortem birth.

What is postmortem birth you ask? Postmortem birth is something that happens with some animals after death, this is because after death muscles relax completely, this includes the uterus. Causing animals to sometimes give birth after passing away.

It is very important to make sure you’re seeing the good day to day, everyday! The good in that day is that these two cuties have been given the chance to be named Buckley and Sour-doe, and find their way to a reliable licensed person for rehabilitation and release! Now they are acclimating in with three new siblings!
What doesn’t kill you can make you stronger!

It’s is vital to remember If you ever have any questions or find a wild animal in need, contact your local Animal Control Officer or licensed Rehabbers.
NEVER touch wild animals regardless of if they are old, young, sick, or injured without given instructions from a licensed professional, almost if not always, accidentally of course, more harm is done to the animal than good if you do.

UPDATE: Simba & Nala have found a home!!
We will have even more kittens available soon!!

LOOK AT THESE TWO CUTIES!!!

These two fur-babies are Simba and Nala!

Nala is a super cute domestic short hair tabby while Simba is an adorable domestic medium hair tabby!

This dynamic duo has been making the whole shelter laugh on the daily!
Playing, rolling, and climbing for your attention! Not only that but they love to sing for your gaze, especially if you’re looking at other cats!🤣

Simba and Nala are 12 week old kittens, one boy and one girl! They both go home spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, and both tested for feline viruses!

Two out of the many kittens we have!!

These two will be going home in a pair as most of our kittens do, this will help with a proper acclamation of the two cats, not only that! Instead of the kittens rough housing on you, both learn to be less “aggressive” when they play, this means using playing and fighting inabitions on each other!
Also, cats that go to homes singularly tend to show physical and mental signs of loneliness and boredom.

These two have tons of love to give and fun to have!
Sooo, if you think you’re the purrrfect home for this duo full of love, contact the Blackstone Valley Animal Control at 508-883-BVAC (2822) or email [email protected]. Applications can be done in advance or at the time of your meet and greet. Applications can also be found at blackstonepolice.org under the Animal Control tab.

ATTENTION ALL WILDLIFE LOVERS!!

Yesterday we responded to a call for 12 baby ducks at JFK Elementary school in Blackstone.

We got in the van ready to help this mother duck out! Mama mallard hatched about 5 babies that ended up being stuck in the court yard while occasionally falling into a storm drain last year.

Mama mallard was flying back and forth from a pond to the court yard all day, not understanding why her babies wouldn’t follow her!
Fun fact!
Baby ducks are considered precocial, meaning babies eat on their own almost immediately after hatching, this also means the parents don’t feed them, all the parents need to do is protect and direct the babies!

The difference this time around is that the storm drain is now covered!

Why did we do this?
Baby ducks can only go for so long off of left over egg yolk after hatching without proper resources.

Baby mallards need to be taught by mom how to eat algae, small fish, aquatic plants, small insects, and seeds! In the court yard there were little to no bugs and nowhere near enough natural resources for these babies to survive.
Knowing where mom was and that their was tons of food, water, and shelter there (a walking distance) we where ready to gather these 12 babies and take them to their intended home!

We used nets very gently to capture these babies, got them into a box to then walk them to their mother, you can see mom hear those babies and rush to their aid! You even see a couple babies go straight to eating until realizing mom was there!

If you ever have any questions or find a wild animal in need, contact your local Animal Control Officer or licensed Rehabbers.
NEVER touch wild animals regardless of if they are old, young, sick, or injured without given instructions from a licensed professional, almost if not always, accidentally of course, more harm is done for the animal than good if you do.

Enjoy the nice weather that is on its way, and keep us in mind if you ever find animals in need of help!

CALLING ALL WILDLIFE LOVERS!!!

This morning we had the pleasure of getting this little guy out of a chimney clean-out!
After digging soot out to find what we were told was an owl, it turned out to be specifically a screech owl! What we believe to be a western however he is covered in soot and could definitely be an eastern, but who’s keeping track, they’re all cute!
A screech owl is a smaller species of owl native to North America and parts of Central America!
Not too common to see due to their amazing camouflage, small size, and on top of that they’re strictly nocturnal!

With a quick look over the owl, things are off to a good start! However, this tiny friend is still being admitted to tufts wildlife in Grafton to be certain that no injuries have occurred!
Check out and follow our other page and Instagram page below to stay tuned for this feathery friends release and more posts like this!!
