They should still be with their mothers...💔
Summer should be the season when wildlife thrives. Instead, we're already seeing the heartbreaking reality of orphan season unfold.
Tiny fox cubs arriving alone after losing their mothers. Baby birds found starving beneath destroyed nests. Young hedgehogs collapsing from dehydration and hunger. Fragile badger cubs too small to survive without constant care.
Every animal that comes through our doors needs warmth, food, medication, rehabilitation and, most importantly, a second chance.
That's why we're launching our ambitious £10,000 Orphan Appeal.
Our running costs now exceed £3,000 every month, yet recurring donations currently cover just one third of that amount. As orphan season intensifies, our incubators will fill, supplies will disappear faster than ever, and our team will continue working day and night to care for every tiny life placed into our hands.
But we can't do it alone.
Right now, somewhere nearby, a tiny animal is lying alone, hungry, frightened, and waiting for help.
Together, we can change that.
Please support our £10,000 Orphan Appeal today and help us continue fighting for the wildlife that depends on us.
