Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care is rehabbing a record number of bears this summer –11.

The latest bear was brought in Aug. 6 by California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“This one is — they are fairly certain — the third cub of the two that we already received from the Paradise area,” Tom Millham with LTWC said.

The 11 cubs came from and/or are nicknamed:

Tahoe – from the Humboldt Redwoods State Park
Meyers – from Meyers
Conway (2) – from Conway Summit near Mono Lake
Bieber (2) – from Bieber on Highway 299 between Redding and Alturas
Paradise (now 3) – from Paradise
Brockway — from Brockway Summit
Cinder — from Washington state, burned in a fire in Methow, Wash.

Cinder’s paws were burned in a fire.

Cinder came to the center via airplane in the last week. Its paws were burned in a wildland fire. Veterinarian Kevin Willitts used Furazone to  help them heal.

Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care in a nonprofit that has existed for more than 30 years on the South Shore. It is the only facility in California that rehabilitates injured or orphaned cubs. Most of the animals are returned to the wild.

The center hopes to move into a new, larger facility next year off Al Tahoe Boulevard. Currently, animals are cared for in cages in the Millhams’ backyard.
