Spring is Baby Season at WildCare, and with every passing day, more orphaned little ones arrive at our wildlife hospital. They come from many different species, but all have in common the need for warmth, gentle care, proper nutrition and a feeling of safety and security.

Your sponsorship includes an eCard to send to someone special featuring the baby of your choice (click to preview). These wild babies will make anyone smile, and with your sponsorship you'll be helping all of WildCare's orphaned baby animals grow up strong and healthy.

Virginia Opossums, as North America's only marsupial mammal, live their first few weeks warm and safe in their mother's marsupium or pouch. Newborn opossums that have lost their mother need an external heat source.

Baby birds thrive on insects. Mockingbird babies in foster care require hand-feeding every 30-45 minutes from a dedicated care-giver, from sunup to sundown, until they are able to learn to feed themselves. 

Orphaned Western Gray squirrel babies are fed special formula developed to approximate their mother’s natural milk. They are weighed daily to be sure they are thriving on the substitute formula.

Black-tailed fawns need predator-proof housing with a large fenced area that allows them enough space to be able to grow, run and gain experience and stamina to escape predators.
