It's 💲5️⃣ Fawn Friday!! 🦌

It’s definitely fawn season, and we are currently caring for 25 injured or orphaned fawns. Fawns are one of the most expensive animals we care for, as they need species specific formula, fresh produce and pellets each day.

The last Friday of each month we'll be asking for your help to cover our formula and supply costs for the year.

Just $5 helps us purchase the specialized formula we need for all our animals and produce for our growing babies.

We love our rat snakes! ❤️🐍 This has been the year of snakes caught in odd predicaments. Thank you Harry Downing, Snake Wrangler!

🧊 ICE ICE BABY! 🍉ICE CHESTS NEEDED FOR FOOD STORAGE 🥬

With baby season in full swing, we’re needing extra food storage for our hungry wildlife patients! We’re in need of 120 quart ice chests/coolers to help keep our non refrigerated produce fresh and ready to use.

From banana-loving raccoons to sweet potatoe-loving tortoises, coolers will help keep everyone fed and healthy. 💚🐢🦝
