Schuylkill Animals In Need Donation Collection

🐾 Helping the SPCA Again 🐾

A couple years back I used to collect donations for the SPCA — food, blankets, toys, cat litter, all that good stuff. It’s been a while, but I’m starting back up because the animals can always use the extra help.

They’re in need of:

Blankets & towels

Dog & cat food

Toys

Cat litter

Cleaning supplies

Because of my work schedule, I can do pickups on weekends or on my way home from work, and I’ll be making drop-offs every Tuesday (my day off).

If any SPCAs in the area are looking for something specific, message me and I’ll do my best to sort and deliver so everyone gets what they need.

If you have anything to donate, shoot me a message — even small things add up and make a big difference. 🐶🐱
Thanks for the support! ❤️

Township officials and the SPCA couldn't believe what they saw when they showed up to that house near Ringtown.

The discovery of a cottontail nest does not necessarily constitute an emergency or a need for intervention. If the bunnies were not injured, the nest could be returned to its original condition, and the mother will continue caring for the babies.

Because the success rates of rehabilitating young cottontail rabbits are often much lower than those for other species, every effort must be taken to keep bunnies with their mother when possible.
Two misunderstandings about rabbit nests result in excessive interference:

First is the belief that the mother will abandon or kill the babies because the nest was disturbed or the babies were touched. This is a fallacy. The mother will NOT abandon or kill her babies. On rare occasions, she might move them, but will most likely just continue caring for them as usual.

The second misunderstanding comes from the finder’s not seeing the mother after the nest was discovered, convincing her that the nest was actually abandoned. The mother’s absence is part of the fundamental biology and defense of the nest. Understanding the behavior of the mother rabbit and why that behavior works to keep the nest from predators is important for the rehabilitator and should be relayed to the finder.

Over the next few days, we will publish articles on Nesting behavior, Identifying Emergencies, Independence, and What to Do if You Find a Bunny in Trouble.
