Every animal facility I’ve checked out always seems to be in constant need of paper towels. It’s a simple and sure to be appreciated donation anyone can make. Most centers will also have Amazon wishlists you can browse as well with supplies they rapidly go through.
This owl is from Florida’s Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. It’s a fun pic, and I thought it was a good time for a reminder as we approach the season of being thankful and the spirit of giving that my fellow Americans can deduct $500 IIRC of charitable functions from your income tax, so it’s a win for you, your fav animal rescue which is probably 100% funded by charitable donations, and the animals!
“What do you mean we’re completely out of paper towels?” Sanford the Eastern Screech-Owl has an urgent request! Our Center is out of paper towels, and we need your help! If you are able, please visit our Amazon wish list and order some paper towels to be delivered to us, or purchase any brand from any store and drop it off during normal business hours. The birds— and the Clinic staff whose job it is to clean up after them — will be so grateful! View our wish list here:
Link removed, I’m not here to solicit for anyone in particular. If you want to donate to this place, follow the Facebook link, or support your local rescues and rehabs.
While we use reusable products as often as possible, hygiene is crucial to the health of our birds and people in the Raptor Trauma Clinic, so sometimes only paper towels will do.
