Did you know that fallen leaves form valuable habitat for all sorts of creatures over the winter and it benefits wildlife to leave them?

Though clearing paths is needed, try and leave a wild space in your garden for improved biodiversity. Leaves break down and put important nutrients back into the soil, protect hibernating creatures and feed wildlife!

For areas that need to have leaves removed, try using those leaves as mulch for gardens, the leaves will provide insulation and nutrients for your plants.

On October 31st, our helpdesk was contacted by Madra Dog Rescue in Galway after they found an otter pup alone and collapsed behind their kennels.

Help desk advised them that at only around 6-8 weeks old, this otter cub was far too young to be on its own and urgently required specialised care. Transport was swiftly arranged from Galway to the centre.

The next morning, the cub arrived at the centre in a weakened state and was tended to by the staff at Grey Abbey Village Vets. The little otter was given a full health check, and we are happy to report she is now doing very well in our care.

Otter cubs can remain dependent on their mother for over a year, so this little one will be with us until next summer.

Without the support of the public, we would not be able to offer this level of care for Irish Wildlife. If you would like to support our efforts, please consider joining our Patreon community. As a charity, Patreon memberships form an important part of our funding, and you can join for as little as €5 a month. Becoming a member allows you access to monthly newsletters with behind the scenes insights and exclusive talks with wildlife heroes. www.patreon.com/kwr Link in bio.

✨ Wishful Wednesday Appeal ✨

Our Wishful Wednesday appeal is back! This week, we are seeking your support for the most vulnerable in our care.

These little ones often arrive sick or cold and need extra care to thrive. One of the best ways to keep them cozy is with snuggle safe heat pads. These fantastic pads provide a comforting heat source and stay warm for up to 7-8 hours, helping our patients feel secure and recover faster.

Your compassionate contributions can make a world of difference in their lives. If you would like to help out please use the links below or find snuggle safes from another store.

At KWR, we value collaboration and believe it is an integral part of improving wildlife care.
Recently, Daniela, one of our international interns completing a placement as part of her post-secondary studies in veterinary medicine, spent the day with Angela, one of our licensed foster carers who specialises in rehabilitating hedgehogs. Together, they spent the day discussing the rehabilitation process, common symptoms presented by hedgehogs in care, and the parasites that are often responsible for these health issues.

Join Us as We Launch Our Wildlife Couch!

We’re delighted to introduce The Wildlife Couch — a new series of free online talks inspired by our much-loved Lunch & Learn sessions for our volunteers. These relaxed and informal talks give us the chance to learn a little bit more about the incredible animals we care for.

Thanks to the generous funding from the Heritage Council, we’re now bringing these talks to you! First up is the little Robin. Much loved and well known, this small but mighty bird is full of character.

This free online talk is open to everyone with an interest in all things wildlife!

This sparrow hawk was brought into care after colliding with a window and suffering an injury to its wing.

This time of year, young birds are learning to survive on their own, which frequently results in misadventure, like collisions with windows.

We are hopeful that they will soon make their return to the skies for a second chance at an independent life.

Recently, we admitted a fox with a leg injury, likely the result of a road traffic collision. Upon arrival at the centre, the fox was sedated by the team at Grey Abbey and x-rayed. The scan revealed a serious but treatable fracture. Thankfully, the fox was otherwise in good condition, so we contacted our friends at Moss Veterinary in Naas for specialist surgery.

The team at Moss Vets performed the operation and fitted a plate to stabilise the broken leg as it healed. After the successful procedure, the fox returned to us to continue its recovery in our specialised enclosures.

We’re happy to report that both the surgery and rehabilitation went smoothly, and the fox was released back into the wild.

We currently have an outstanding bill with Moss Vets for the sum of €555.23, if you would like to make a contribution to help cover the costs of this foxes surgery, please call Moss Vets at 045-876187 or make a donation at the link https://www.idonate.ie/cause/KildareWildlifeRescue

**UPDATE** The bill has been covered. Thank you, everyone! If you would like to continue to support our work, please consider joining our Patreon www.patreon.com/kwr

We are so grateful for all the help and support the wonderful staffMoss Veterinary Hospitalterinary gave for this fox and all wildlife they see for us.

Thank you for helping us help wildlife.
