Emergency shelters made with cardboard box. It can be a lifesaver for outdoor cats. EMERGENCY SHELTER
When time is of the essence - a bad storm or sudden cold snap may be arriving soon - an adequate temporary shelter can be quickly put together. You'll need a cardboard box, a plastic drop cloth at least 3 millimeters thick or contractor trash bags that are three millimeters thick, duct tape and shredded newspaper. Follow these instructions:

(1) Take the cardboard box and tape all the seams shut with duct tape. Cardboard is actually good insulation.
(2) Wrap the box completely with the drop cloth or trash bags, making as few seams as possible. Secure onto the box with duct tape, liberally and tightly wrapping the tape around the sides of the box and sealing any seams in the plastic. This will make the shelter waterproof.
(3) Cut a doorway in one of the shorter sides of the box approximately 6 inches by 6 inches, leaving the bottom of the doorway a few inches above the bottom of the box to prevent flooding. Use duct tape to secure the loose plastic around the opening you just made.
(4) Place shredded newspaper inside the box, filling it up to the bottom of the doorway in front and a little higher towards the back. The cats will gain added warmth by burrowing into the newspaper.

For added insulation, start by placing a slightly smaller cardboard box inside a larger one and fill the gap between them with rolled-up newspaper. Then proceed with steps 1 through 4, above, being sure to cut the doorway through both boxes. If possible, place your cardboard shelter beneath something that will shield it, like a porch or tree. Raise it off the ground a few inches by placing it on a pallet, bricks or something similar. Weigh the shelter down with a heavy rock or a few bricks, but nothing heavy enough to crush the roof. Once the crisis has passed, replace with more permanent shelter.

ICHS is celebrating Adopt A Shelter Cat Month this June! ❤️

May is the time that deer begin birthing their fawns. We ask that you please adhere to the following guidelines, should you find one of these fawns, that the mother deer has TEMPORARILY put aside for the fawn's safety.

**Every springtime, the National Wildlife Federation gets numerous emails and phone calls from concerned people asking the following question:
“I found an abandoned fawn! Where can I take it?”

The answer is almost always the same:
The fawn isn’t abandoned and you should leave it right where it is.

Lone Fawns are Not Abandoned
There is a strong probability that you did not find an abandoned fawn. Female deer hide their newborn fawns in tall grass or brush and move some distance away to feed to avoid drawing predators to their offspring. With the proliferation of deer in suburban areas, sometimes this happens right in our own yards. The fawn simply waits in hiding until its mother returns. Soon, the fawns will be strong enough to follow the does and run from predators, and they no longer need to spend hours alone in hiding.
Though it seems that they are vulnerable, these young fawns are not totally helpless. Their spotted pelts look like dappled sunlight on the forest floor and offer great camouflage. They do not have strong scent that would attract predators. Fawns are also programmed to keep totally still and quiet when hiding while their mother forages. The combination of the physical attributes and the behavior of both does and fawns are remarkably successful at limiting depredation at such a vulnerable time.

“Rescuing” Fawns is Illegal
Wild animals don’t make good pets, and deserve to live wild and free. In fact, for some species there there are laws to protect wildlife from being taken from the wild by people. Well-meaning people who take fawns out of the wild and raise them violate these laws, often unwittingly and nearly always unnecessarily. Come spring, animal rescue centers are overloaded with “abandoned” fawns that never needed help from humans in the first place. You might mean well, but taking a fawn out of the wild is essentially “fawn-napping.”

And consider this: illegally raising deer fawns greatly reduces their chances of survival. It is difficult for an untrained person to provide a quality diet and captive care, and due to a hand-raised deer’s lack of fear of humans, these animals are more likely to be hit by cars, killed by dogs, or shot by hunters. The photo to the right shows what someone did to try and protect a “pet” wild deer from hunters: they put a collar on it. Unfortunately, this deer was totally unafraid of people, and walked right up to a hunter. Luckily for this particular animal, the hunter just snapped this picture and let it go on its way. The next time it approaches a human it will probably not be so lucky.

When to Intervene
There are cases where it is okay to help lone fawns. If you notice that a fawn is clearly injured or that it is near a dead adult doe, then it is acceptable to seek help. Start by calling your local animal control department or nature center, who can either take the animal or help locate a licensed wildlife rehabilitator who can. If a hidden fawn is discovered on your property, it’s up to you to keep your pet dogs and your children away from it.

Please do not closely approach or handle wildlife .
