Rather than an in-person event, the public is invited to virtually participate in the Wildlife Baby Shower on Saturday, April 9. Gifts from our wish list and monetary contributions will ensure the smallest animals get the care they need to grow healthy and strong.

“While our Baby Shower is virtual this year to ensure everyone’s safety, our need is just as great”, said Katie Kefalos, Director at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. “Support from the public is vital to our efforts to give the hundreds of baby wildlife, from raccoons and bunnies to squirrels and owlets, the chance to survive and thrive.”

Supplies that may be donated for the Baby Shower include common items that can be found in your local grocery store like paper towels, canned mixed fruit, and unsalted nuts. Other specialty items include digital kitchen scales, knitted nests and pruned tree branches. Items may be dropped off at HARP’s East Side (6926 Hamilton Avenue), North Side (1101 Western Avenue) or Wild Side (6000 Verona Road, Verona) locations or donors may select items from our Amazon Wish List for delivery to the Wildlife Center.
