The Spring Match is here – help vulnerable babies like these Cliff Swallows

We were quite surprised last spring when not one, not two, or even five, but ten baby Cliff Swallows were admitted to our Wildlife Hospital at once.

They were so young and tiny, merely weeks old, and weighing barely 20 grams each. They should still have been tucked safely in their nest, but their home had been disturbed.

The Cliff Swallow’s parents had built their nest on the underside of a busy bridge. When the structure lifted to let boats through, the nest and babies tumbled to the ground. It was clear these vulnerable babies needed help immediately. Fortunately, there are animal lovers like you who care deeply about giving injured and orphaned wildlife a second chance.

Stories like this are becoming more common.

Spring and summer are the busiest seasons for wild animals. Already this season, hundreds of animals have been admitted needing urgent, lifesaving care, and nearly one-third of them have been babies or juveniles. And this surge is only just beginning. 

Right now, is the most important time to help. A generous group of supporters is matching every donation dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000, doubling the care you make possible for wild babies at their most vulnerable moment.

Your matched gift gives wild babies the second chance they deserve, helping ensure lifesaving care is ready for at least 200 young patients this spring and standing ready for every fragile life that follows.

The ten Cliff Swallows proved to be fighters!

Over time, the swallows grew stronger, learned to catch their food mid-flight, and gained the skills they would need to survive in the wild.

After 26 days, Thanks to animal lovers like you, they were released — lifting into the sky where they belong.

That’s the difference compassion makes. That’s what your gift helps make possible.

Please give today to have your gift doubled and help twice as many wild babies survive this spring.
