At the Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center there are hundreds of baby racoons, baby squirrels, baby opossums, and more, meaning major veterinarian bills as well as big bills for the cost of food and other supplies for the care and feeding of all of this wildlife to get them strong and healthy to return them to the wild. The Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center says it costs an average of 125-dollars to rehabilitate each animal. That’s why today’s WILDLIFE BABY SHOWER IS SO IMPORTANT.
