[SEMCO] Wild Care to Host Wildlife Baby Shower Celebrating Baby Animals

[Events at Wild Care]

Wild Care, a wildlife rehabilitation center located in Eastham, is hosting
a wildlife baby shower on Saturday, June 18th from 11am til 2pm at Wild
Care’s big yellow house on the Orleans Rotary located at 10 Smith Lane,
Eastham, MA.


Join us as we celebrate the precious wildlife babies cared for at our
wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facility. We will be offering guided
tours of a few of our outdoor enclosures, and hourly educational
presentations with our Animal Ambassadors. Guests will have the opportunity
to make their own animal rescue box and decorate “Kindness Socks” – rice
socks with inspirational messages for animals that will be used to keep
them warm. There will be children’s activities and snacks.


Meet and greet our Animal Ambassadors in hourly presentations:

11:30 AM – Ilean a Mallard Duck

12:30 PM – Up Up an Eastern Screech Owl

1:30 PM – Garv an Eastern Box Turtle


All are welcome, and admission is free to attend. Baby shower gifts from
our Baby Shower Wish List (

appreciated. Guests bringing a gift will be entered to win a Wild Care gift
basket, and all guests will receive a party favor. Proceeds to benefit Wild
Care Cape Cod.


“We are extremely grateful for the support of the community”, said
Stephanie Ellis, Executive Director. “Wild Care is not open to the public,
so this is the one day of the year when we can give the public
a sneak-peek at what we do. It is such a fun event for children and adults
of all ages. We are thrilled to be able to host this in-person event for
our wonderful, wildlife-loving community!”


To keep our animal patients safe from Avian Flu, we will not be allowing
guests inside. We will be sharing FaceBook Live videos of wildlife
rehabilitators feeding some of our baby animals. Find us on Facebook

ABOUT WILD CARE: Wild Care’s mission is to treat injured, ill and orphaned
native wildlife for release, to prevent wildlife casualties through public
education and live counseling, and to engage the community in conservation
through volunteerism. Since our founding, Wild Care has accepted greater
than 30,000 wild creatures, representing over 275 species of native birds,
mammals, and reptiles. On average Wild Care receives more than 1,800 wild
animals per year for treatment. Of those admitted, about half come to us
due to injuries and habitat loss due to human activities. It is a vital
part of Wild Care’s mission to help educate the public on ways they can
avoid harming our animal neighbors. We work with the community to
positively impact the lives of wild animals through our counseling,
educational efforts, and outreach. Wild Care does not charge the public for
our services to wildlife. We accept wildlife regardless of a rescuer’s
ability to make a donation and we never compromise quality of care or the
dignity of an animal’s life for fundraising purposes. We are constantly
striving to preserve the natural history of Cape Cod and provide quality,
individualized care to each of our patients.
