Help save these baby forest animals by funding essentials for their care.

Baby forest animals are taken into rescues every day, and shelters and rescues need our help to take care of these helpless woodland critters after they arrive. 

These animals may end up in a shelter because they were injured, are sick, or a parent passed away or left them abandoned. No matter the case, these defenseless young animals need the help of trained caretakers to tend to their needs. While the shelter focuses on medical care, formula for the animals is a must have and can be very pricey. 

Formula for forest animals is necessary for survival and provides essential nutrients to help these animals not only survive but thrive.

By sending a 1/2 lb of formula you can save the life of an animal. On average an animal will need between 12-40 ounces of formula between arriving at the rescue until the time where they can eat solid food. This much needed formula will provide several essential meals.

You can also send a Life Saving Kit which includes formula and a set of miracle nipples & a o-ring syringe - in different sizes to best help each animal in need.

Do even more by sending a 1/2 lb of formula to each of the 4 animals in need PLUS you'll send a box of exam gloves to ensure safety and health not just for the animals but for the rescue worker as well. Another goodie that will be sent is a pair of bite guard gloves- perfect for animals that may be a bit scared or nervous and bite the rescuer worker. These gloves are truly appreciated by rescue workers, as they ensure safety when helping animals that are naturally defending themselves. 

Blankets are also essential for keeping animals warm, cozy, feeling safe and as a layer of protection between animal and the person helping the animal. These can go to any wildlife animal in need of help!

Stories:

February 2023: The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota takes in a variety of animals who are rescued by the public who care about wildlife. Baby animals, like this opossum, are raised in their mammal nursery. They are fed multiple times a day with formula provided from these kits! Certain formulas are great for a variety of animals, which helps shelters and rehab centers that never know what animal will be dropped off. Lynnette Scott had this to say about the image below "Most patients don't stay in buckets we use for weighing; attempting escape like this opossum". This sweet bobcat on the right benefited from some blankets sent as it recovered from an injury!

May 2023: According to Diane Johnson of Operation Wildlife Inc. food costs for a baby raccoon runs between $250-$500 depending on the age they are brought in. They were really struggling to keep up with the costs. "May of these animals come to us because their mom has been killed or their home was destroyed. 99% of all the mammals come in because of human related causes. The formula that was sent will also feed not only raccoons, but foxes, coyotes and skunks in Operation Wildlife Inc.'s care.

Summer 2023: Serena was one of six baby swans. Many of her siblings did not survive in the wild, and Serena was bit bad by a snapping turtle. The blankets sent have kept her warm in her "large bird condo" where she is safe and has space to heal. She gets to visit her mom and dad each day and loves being cuddled up in her blankets reports Megan Weinberger from Rescue Life Inc.
