Growing up as a kid I always wanted to be a veterinarian. Life had other plans and I found myself in the hospitality industry. However, I kept my fixation with animals, wild and domesticated. A few years ago I moved into my first house and my neighbors cat would often bring me baby cottontails about 2 weeks old right from their burrow. I remember spending hours each time trying to find a rehabber in my area that would take them and unfortunately with cat saliva and their bacteria being lethal to rabbits.. sometimes I wasn’t able to get them to help in time. I decided after a handful of times having to drive 2 and a half to 3 hours round trip to the nearest rehabber I could find that I wanted to step up and start to help by rehabbing myself. Since then I’ve had a year of growing and learning with cottontails and have even dabbled a bit with squirrels and bats. I have purchased some travel incubators of my own which are great for neonatal and transport but can become rather dry as they don’t have a way to regulate humidity. This incubator with the additional humidity ability would allow me to further my rehabbing experience into bat pups and other small mammals. Whether you’re able to make a donation or share this campaign, I truly appreciate appreciate it!
