Conservancy of Southwest Florida to host virtual Baby Shower for wildlife on June 4

FORT MYERS, Fla. - EntSun -- Baby season in Southwest Florida is in full swing. Each spring, the longer days and warming temperatures trigger many native animals to begin breeding and nesting. This increase in activity results in a surge in admissions to the von Arx Wildlife Hospital as animal admissions double during spring and summer months.

The Conservancy of Southwest Florida's von Arx Wildlife Hospital, which treats injured, sick and orphaned animals, is hosting a virtual Wildlife Hospital Baby Shower on Saturday, June 4 to help raise awareness and support for its youngest patients.

Baby Shower contributors are encouraged to visit Conservancy.org to learn about the hospital and our efforts to care for over 4,300 patients per year. Our staff wildlife rehabilitators are hard at work treating each and every patient. The von Arx Wildlife Hospital team is requesting Baby Shower donations of food, vitamins, husbandry items and household supplies, as well as monetary donations. Gifts can be donated online through the Conservancy's Amazon Wish List (http://www.conservancy.org/babyshower).

"The von Arx Wildlife Hospital team is dedicated to caring for any mammal, bird or reptile admitted to our facility; young wild animals face many dangers that threaten their survival. While baby animals require extensive time and focus, there is nothing more rewarding then raising young wild animal babies and giving them a chance to return to the wild" said Joanna Fitzgerald, director of the Wildlife Hospital. "The Wildlife Hospital Baby Shower is a unique opportunity to showcase how we're providing the best care possible while helping community members learn how they can help."

The Baby Shower gift registry is listed online at Conservancy.org/BabyShower (http://www.conservancy.org/babyshower).

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Conservancy relies on donations to provide items that are essential to patient care, ranging from food and medicine to medical equipment and cleaning supplies.
