St. Francis Wildlife's Adopt-An-Animal Program
Think globally, act locally: Take a wild thing under your wing.
Between March and October, St. Francis Wildlife will rescue 2,000 orphaned baby birds and mammals. Baby birds, bunnies, raccoons, fawns, foxes and more arrive at our door every day! Babies require around-the-clock TLC and huge quantities of special foods. When you adopt an orphan, your adoption helps finance the care, feeding and medical treatment necessary to care for these helpless babies.
Or choose a permanently disabled bird of prey, a member of our Wild Classroom education program (choices below). Your adoption of a disabled raptor will help finance the care, feeding and medical treatment of this education bird.
Benefits of adoption
If you choose to adopt an orphan, the new parent receives a print with a collage of baby photos and specific information about how to help orphaned babies and other wildlife. Below are photos the adoptive parents will receive:

An Excellent Hands-on Environmental Activity for School Children
Many teachers and scout group leaders have found that involving children in raising money for a wild orphan or for the care of one or more of our permanent residents is an excellent hands-on lesson in wildlife conservation.
