Many of you have probably heard of WildCare Foundation, but for those who have not….

The WildCare Foundation provides a place for people to bring native injured or orphaned wild animals struggling to survive with the goal of releasing health animals back to nature. Wildcare is a wildlife rehabilitation facility for any wild animal native to Oklahoma. WildCare can assess the animal’s condition and provide the needed medical care and housing until recovered and healthy enough to be released back into the wild. WildCare believes that all wild species be it sparrow or eagle, opossum or bobcat play an important role in keeping the planet healthy. For this reason we accept and treat all wild native birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

WildCare Foundation is in the running for a $250,000 grant for a new facility building. You can vote for them everyday in June! There is a link on their website… http://www.wildcareoklahoma.org/. Or go to www.refresheverything.com and search for “WildCare Oklahoma“.

Each year, 3,700 people and 4,200 animals enter WildCare’s Admissions area looking for help. WildCare’s Admission/Clinic is crowded on a small porch inside the Director’s home. We don’t have the space to treat these animals and have meaningful educational moments with the public that bring in these animals struggling to survive. A 4,000 sq.ft building would give the public an opportunity to understand how important their first step is in saving a wild animal’s life. The new Pepsi Refresh Building would allow WildCare to greatly increase our educational programs at the facility. The building would also expand our Nurseries and Clinic area. The building design would allow viewing areas into the Nurseries and Clinic without disturbing the animals. An environmentally friendly building would greatly increase our visibility in the community, advance our education programs, and foster a greater understanding and caring for the environment and the animals on the planet.
How will the 250K be Used?

Budget Notes: Land, well, and power is already available on WildCare’s 15 acres. WildCare will raise funds for educational exhibits, furnishings and landscaping.
