Did you know that incubators play an important role in animal rehabilitation, especially for wildlife? As an organization who receives over 350 animals a year, these machines aren’t just helpers, they’re full-time employees!

 

It's true, and we have an urgent need to add two more for the upcoming baby season. One of the incubators will be added to our Nursery, and the second will enhance our isolation building, The SophieJam Bird House.

 

What do we use these incubators for?

 

With baby season just around the corner, incubators are an amazing tool for helping orphaned animals. Most wild babies are not able to regulate their body temperature without the help of their family. As orphans in our care, the incubators ensure that we can keep all of the babies warm, cozy and protected from drafts.

 

Is it only for babies? Surprisingly, no!

 

Even adult animals who are sick or injured have trouble keeping warm. Many patients, big and small, furry and feathered, take up residence in our incubators in the early stages of their recovery. In these cases the incubator helps to keep the animals warm and comfortable so that they can focus on healing.​

 

How can I help? Donate and spread the word!

 

Every set of eyes we can get on this helps us get that much closer to adding these two integral pieces of equipment to our facility before the babies start arriving.

 

From all of us here, feathered, furry and human, thank you!

 

Note: Any funds raised above our goal will be used towards the many additional costs of the upcoming baby season including food, medical treatment, other items from our Amazon wishlist etc.
