The San Diego Humane Society is asking the public to help stock its nurseries during the 16th annual virtual Wildlife Baby Shower.
Thousands of vulnerable baby squirrels, raccoons, hummingbirds, ducklings, bobcats and many other species are expected to arrive at the society’s Project Wildlife program during the busy spring breeding season.
Members of the community can purchase items such as soft bedding, specialized formula, feeding tools, pop-up habitats and baby bird diets from registries at Amazon, Target and Walmart. All gifts are shipped directly to the San Diego Humane Society.
“The supplies donated are used every day to stabilize, feed and house fragile young animals until they’re ready to return to the wild,” said Dr. Alexis Wohl, SDHS’ wildlife veterinary manager. “Community support truly determines how many lives we can save.”
The SDHS Project Wildlife program cares for more than 10,000 injured, orphaned and sick wild animals each year.
