Raves: Readers Give a Shout Out to WildCare

Nature's Ninjas

Patch reader Monique Pflager spread some love to 's Director of Animal Care Melanie Piazza for her work to help wildlife in Marin. Pflager wrote:

"She is a vocal advocate for animal wellfare, an animal foster parent amd she works tirelessly without complaint at WildCare's headquarters in downtown San Rafael. She dedicates much of her free time to animal causes around the state and is a great example of a leader."

Pflager also noted JoLynn Taylor, the head of the raccoon fostercare team.

"While many people curse the mess that raccoons leave, at least we can still curse them. Jolynn and her team work tirelessly to raise over 40 orphaned raccoon babies every year. Raccoons are the mammal longest in care, sometimes for 6 months and many of them end up with Jolynn. This is no small undertaking. I praise her for her hard work and dedication to nature's ninjas."
