The
Animals Need Your Help
Friends of Texas Wildlife depends entirely on donations to help
provide the species-specific formula necessary for all infants

veterinary care required to save the lives of the malnourished,
morbidly injured and sick wildlife, and to provide proper
training for rehabbers and the public for the proper handling of
wildlife.

rehabbers & veterinarians

How Your Donations Help
Your donations truly do make a difference. Here are just a few
of the ways you help give our native Texas wildlife a second
chance:
- $1000 provides necessary
surgical services for severely injured wildlife
- $ 500 pays for new caging
for 3-4 raccoons
- $ 250 will feed a Great
Horned Owl until release
- $ 200 will supply materials
for a community education program
- $ 100 will provide infant
formula for one raccoon for three months
- $ 75 provides songbird food
from nestling to adult
- $ 50 provides preventative
vaccines for one raccoon
- $ 25 pays for one veterinary
office exam
Note: These are costs for healthy
animals and are an average. Some require more extensive care
than others and the expenses increase proportionately - for
example, a raccoon may require 9 months of care whereas a
squirrel may only require 4 months of care before it can be
released back into the wild.
Other Ways You Can Help
Volunteer. Friends of Texas Wildlife has no paid staff and
relies totally on caring volunteers to help fulfill its mission.
Friends’ volunteers fall into two categories: rehabilitators and
administrative volunteers.
Individuals interested in becoming rehabilitators are required
to be members of Friends of Texas Wildlife and must participate
in ongoing education efforts if they wish to pursue becoming
permitted. Each prospective rehab volunteer will be partnered
with a trained, permitted rehabilitator.
Administrative volunteers are needed to help in such areas as
fundraising, marketing & public relations, community outreach & education - just
to name a few areas of need. Administrative volunteers are not
required to be members, but we would hope that they would want
to be. Click
