Save a Songbird
Every summer EWRC rescues hundreds of baby songbirds and injured adult birds. Some species can eat up to 200 mealworms per day! Baby birds require formula, bugs, and warmth. They need constant feeding, care and cleaning. It costs about $2 per day to care for a songbird. For only $10, you can sponsor a songbird and help to provide it with food, bedding, and veterinary care. You will receive information and a photo of your songbird. You will also receive critter updates, and be invited to private releases and special events!
Help a Hawk
Help a hawk, owl, falcon, eagle, or other bird of prey. Many birds of prey are hit by cars or tangled in barbed wire fences and require serious medical care and long recoveries. They need large flight cages and eat up to 6 mice per day! For $20, you can sponsor a raptor and help to provide it with food, housing, and veterinary care. You will receive information and a photo of your raptor. You will also receive critter updates, and be invited to private releases and special events!
Mend a Mammal
Squirrel, fox, coyote, bobcat, bunny, or other mammal! Baby mammals require milk formula that costs about $40 per can. Large mammals such as foxes, coyotes, and bobcats need fresh meats- including daily whole chickens- which makes them expensive residents. Even small mammals like bunnies and squirrels consume fresh produce costing around $5 per day. For $30, you can sponsor a mammal and help to provide it with food, housing, and veterinary care. You will receive information and a photo of your mammal. You will also receive critter updates, and be invited to private releases and special events!

Wildlife Care Center Project
In an effort to better care for native Colorado wildlife and to better serve our communities, we are embarking on an ambitious project at EWRC--the construction of a Wildlife Care Center.
We have outgrown the tiny house we've been operating out of for the last nine years, and as wildlife continues to experience challenges in surviving due to habitat loss and conflicts with people, we need a new, larger, and better-equipped building to keep up with the demand for services.
The new Center will be an environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient building where the birds and mammals will be given a secure, stress-free environment in which to heal prior to moving to spacious outdoor prerelease enclosures, and ultimately released back to nature for a second chance at life.
Won't you join us in our efforts make this happen? With your help we can provide care to the ever-increasing numbers of migratory birds, small and medium-size mammals, and reptiles that need our help each year.
You can help by donating via check, money order, cash, and Pay Pal. Please specify Care Center on your donation and help make the Care Center a reality! |

Founder and president of Ellicott Wildlife, Donna Ralph has published several books. Poignant stories of the critters that have needed the help and care of the rehabilitators of the Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Her latest book will help you decide if becoming a wildlife rehabilitator is right for you. A portion of the proceeds from each sales goes to help support the center.
Also available from the Pikes Peak Library District.
