Overview
Ottawa has hundreds of collisions between car and deer each year. There is no facility in this region authorized to provide care for the resulting orphaned fawns. Wildlife rehabilitation services are urgently needed!
Our project allows for the community to take a responsible approach to reducing the negative impact of humans on wildlife. We will fill the gap by completing our intake and treatment clinic and wildlife enclosures.
An excellent portable office has been donated to become our clinic. We need to install the electrical and plumbing connections so our veterinarian and clinicians can treat the incoming animals.
Solid fencing must surround the wildlife so they don't become exposed to domestic animals and human activity. Small mammals need large, safe enclosures where they can socialize with others of their species and acquire the survival skills they need. Fawns need a large natural enclosure in which they can grow strong and maintain a fear of humans.
