 >  Hello WCSV Volunteers!
 > 
 >  We have some wonderful updates for you to enjoy!
 > 
 >  Shift Updates:
 > 
 >  1.        Please be mindful of the produce you are using. ALWAYS use the 
 >  older produce before digging into our new produce stash. We are trying to 
 >  reduce the amount of rotten food.
 > 
 >  2.        Please do not work on any animal related task you are not 
 >  assigned to. If you have completed your assigned tasks and would like to 
 >  continue to help, please see animal care staff, or your shift captain. This 
 >  will reduce any confusion on our end, and make sure all animal tasks are 
 >  covered.
 > 
 >  3.        We are running extremely low on large towels. Please let us know 
 >  if you have any to spare!
 > 
 >  4.        Make sure the laundry you are folding is dry. The laundry is 
 >  taking several cycles to dry if our dryers are overfilled, or the lint 
 >  traps are not cleaned out. Please make sure you are cleaning out the lint 
 >  traps after each cycle!
 > 
 >  5.        Please do not dump dirt, rocks or other hard materials in our 
 >  sink. Make sure to keep the covers over the drains! This will prevent 
 >  unwanted material falling down the drain.

 >  &middot;          WCSV is experiencing high Gull intakes. This time of year 
 >  it is not uncommon for WCSV to take in high volumes of juvenile waterbirds. 
 >  Please make sure to follow all safety guidelines when working with birds 
 >  such as gulls. Never be afraid to ask for assistance if you are 
 >  uncomfortable caring for the many different species of waterbirds WCSV 
 >  receives this time of year.

 >  &middot;          WCSV received a bobcat that was hit by a car in the east 
 >  foothills. Fish and Wildlife Wardens rushed the animal to WCSV caregivers 
 >  at 11pm one night. The next morning the cat was tranquilized at WCSV and 
 >  staff found the animal had a fractured right femur. Staff quickly rushed 
 >  the animal to Adobe Animal Hospital where the cat was examined by Dr. Boltz 
 >  (specializes in felines!) Due to the severity of the fracture, Dr. Boltz 
 >  felt the only treatment was to surgically place a plate over the fracture 
 >  leg. After a couple hours under anesthesia, the cat awoke from her surgery. 
 >  As of today the bobcat is doing well. Her prognosis will remain guarded 
 >  until we see how she is able to move and hunt in our new outdoor enclosure. 
 >  WCSV is going to take follow up radiographs to see how her fracture is 
 >  healing. We cannot thank Adobe Animal Hospital enough! All the work they do 
 >  for WCSV is probono! :-) Keep an eye out on our Facebook page for her full 
 >  story along with pictures. We will continue to keep everyone posted on her 
 >  progress.
