Help Feed an Animal
|
|
You may wish to help feed an animal for a month, or a year. A large amount of the expenses incurred by Pacific Wildlife Care are on-going for things like food for our animals.
You may wish to give a gift of caring to yourself or to someone you know, but especially to wildlife. Buying food for an animal for a month or more, includes membership in Pacific Wildlife Care, so our quarterly newsletter will be mailed to you or the recipient, if this is a gift.
Two steps:
-
Please choose one of the animals below, clicking on the Donate button.
-
After you have completed that transaction, come back to this Help Feed Page, and enter your information, and the information for the recipient of your gift, if applicable.
Both of these steps are necessary for feeding an animal.
SEND WEBMASTER EMAIL if you have any difficulty.
HELP FEED FORM (After you have Paid Above)
Required Fields Starred (*)
Feed a Racoon for a month . Covers the cost of medication, fish, fruit, Kibble dog food, supplements and milk replacement formula to raise an orphaned raccoon. Orphaned baby raccoons are generally those who have started venturing from the nest on their own and gotten lost, or strayed from the rest of the family on a feeding excursion, with the death of the mother often the least likely cause of the baby being alone. A cub found curled up in a ball in a relatively sheltered spot should be left alone with food and water placed nearby, and humans and animals kept away. Often the mother will retrieve it the next night or even after several days. If the cub has not taken food or water after 24 hours Pacific Wildlife Care should be notified. Babies can carry rabies and the transmission of roundworm to humans can be deadly. Therefore, it is imperative that the baby not be handled. Rehabbers are specially trained to handle and care for raccoons and have pre-exposure rabies vaccinations.

Feed a Barn Owl for a month . It is common for a baby bird to fall out of the nest before it can fly. This is the time when many people think the bird is in trouble. The most important action to be taken in this case is to make sure the parent birds are caring for it. The parent birds will usher it to the safety of a bush or similar hiding place and continue to feed it while grounded until it can fly in the next few days. Observe the baby at a distance that will not frighten the parent birds to make sure that this is occurring. The most important thing is to keep the baby with the parents because even though we can raise a baby bird to adult, we are not able to teach it the same survival skills its parents can teach it. When there is absolutely no way that the baby bird will be safe due to cats or other dangers, then intervention may be necessary.

Feed a Pelican for a month . Covers the cost of Ensure, trout chow and fish for an injured pelican. If you need more information about how the sea birds are starving on Pacific Ocean in San Luis Obispo County see the article in The Tribune.
You Choose Amount for Animal Feeding . Pacific Wildlife Care is always in need of extra money for operating expenses. Food for the animals is a necessity for the animals in our care.
