Vet bills -- a plea for help

We really hate to ask for money, and work hard on our retail store in the hopes that someday the profits from selling food, toys, and other supplies will be enough to cover the expenses of the Center. Unfortunately, that day has not yet arrived, and we still depend on your generosity to make ends meet. (Please think of us for your food and toy needs! All money goes directly back to helping birds at CARE!)

We've recently had another spate of birds requiring expensive medical care. We've talked about some of them on here, like Rocky, Sebastian, Molly, Puzzle, and Josh. Tomorrow, Durante is going in to have a growth removed.

The balance on our vet bill has reached $1,500. Although our vet gives us a tremendous discount, the costs quickly add up.

We're asking for help in paying this off. As we are a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations are tax deductible to the extent of the law, and we will send you a donation letter for your records.

You can write a check to CARE or make a paypal donation (see the button on our right sidebar) -- writing "vet costs" on the memo line or in the comments. Or, if you'd rather, you can make a payment directly to CARE's vet -- Brook-Falls Vet Hospital.

As always, if you have any questions, you can e-mail us or call at (262) 628-3719. We thank you for your past, current, and future support! It's because of you that we're able to help hundreds of birds every year.
