Mark your calendars for July 12th! Our Summer Meet & Greet that is open to the public is only one week away! From 10 am to 12 pm, you may meet our animal ambassadors and enjoy games, face painting, and ice cream.

If you haven't already, secure your spot for one of our Behind-the-Scenes Tours. For a small fee of $15, experience the rare opportunity to tour our animal hospital and these tours sell out quickly! This area is closed to the public so this will be your only chance until next summer to see where the animals you bring us are cared for. Each tour lasts 45-minute and will be led by our amazing Animal Care Director, Elisa Fosco.

As winter begins to fade away, great horned owls have already been nesting across Wisconsin. These year-round residents are well adapted to the chilly temperatures and are able to give their young, called owlets, a head start!

Great horned owlets are one of the first wildlife species to hatch every year, typically from late February through mid-April. They are blind, immobile and covered in down when they hatch, so they rely on parent birds for care during the first few weeks of life.

At around 6 weeks old, owlets have traded a lot of their fluffy down for adult-like feathers and become more independent, often “branching” out of the nest before they are fully developed. It is common to see them on the ground and they will often lift their wings, hiss and clack their beak to scare off predators. They may not fly away if approached because they are still developing their flying skills but will often climb back up the tree or fly away once alone.

Remember: an owlet’s best chance of survival is with their parents! Always contact the DNR or a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for advice before intervening if you think an owlet is too young to be out of the nest.

if a cat is feral and doesn’t have its ear clipped, HAWS in Waukesha will neuter feral cats and give 1 year rabies for free to Waukesha county residents if you can trap it yourself. It’s called project guardian if you want to check out more info on their website
