WE ARE ACCEPTING DONATIONS TO REBUILD! Fix A Friend Spay Neuter Clinic and all equipment is owned by Adopt an Angel. We were flooded with 3-4 feet of water on Monday and 80 cats, 20 dogs and staff were evacuated by boat to the animal shelter because owners and rescues were unable to come back to get them due to flooded roads. The clinic has flood insurance, but that does not cover ALL CONTENTS. We know we will need equipment and supplies. The insurance will help build it back to the way it was. However, we have had TWO 500 year floods in 6 years so putting it back the way it was is not the answer. We need to build it back bigger, higher and better than it was and if we could DREAM, we would add in a small adoption center for the cats, kittens and dogs Adopt an Angel rescues---we own two acres. We would love to get off of a septic system and tap into county water. We are talking with our contractor who is meeting with architects to raise the entire building 6 feet. All donation checks must be written to Adopt an Angel, since that is the charity behind the clinic. You can donate online at www.adoptanangel.net and put the clinic in the comments. You can mail checks to Adopt an Angel, PO Box 15095, Wilmington, NC 28408. Again, please make the check out to Adopt an Angel. The clinic has done over 120,000 surgeries since 2013 and we typically do over 100 surgeries a day. Over 40 animal rescues and shelters have no way to get their animals fixed until we are rebuilt. We gotta get this done and done FAST! Will you help us?

“Goosie” updates from :

🪿 “We wanted to provide you with an update on the Canada Goose that you brought to us for sanctuary on 7/22. This goose is doing well! Following a short stay in our clinic, it was released into our resident flock of geese. It is enjoying a proper, varied diet (with a lot of snacks from volunteers) and access to our ponds. It is imprinted as was suspected, but it is slowly taking to the company of our other resident geese.“

🪿 “Goosie is doing great, she loves following volunteers around and hangs out by our food prep tables most of the day so she gets lots of lettuce and treats from everyone. At night she goes and sleeps by the pond edge but in the day time she prefers to hang out with the humans and up front where the most human activity is of course. Shes very social and gets load of attention.“

I think it’s safe to say that I am beyond relieved to know that she is in such good hands, and will live out her life in the best place possible! Thank you, for all you do!

With Hurricane Debby coming into our coastal region, this federally accredited sanctuary could use your help. If you can, please donate at: www.skywatchbirdrescue.org/make-a-donation/. Anything helps! 💗

Here’s some great info from Skywatch Bird Rescue on what NOT to feed geese and what they should be eating. 💙

If you have visited the sanctuary before, you may have wondered why some of our geese have their wings sticking out as shown below. This isn’t by choice, but due to a deficiency caused directly by humans feeding them unnatural foods like bread (or other empty-calorie, starchy type foods, or foods nutritionally not meant for them) as goslings.

Named for the "angel"-like posture these geese hold with their wings, “Angel Wing” is a condition goslings, ducklings, and cygnets can develop from eating nutritionally-depleted foods, like bread, crackers, etc., fed to them by humans, while they were young and still developing. The bones at the tip of their wings grow crooked and outward, and proper cartilage development and placement gets disrupted, creating a permanent deformity that leaves them flightless, and their wings deformed. Eating foods like bread too often negatively affects adult birds as well, causing them joint inflammation and arthritis, and weakening their immune system to be more vulnerable to things like fungal infections, among numerous other negative side effects. It's best for the geese not to eat any type of processed human foods. It's important they eat aquatic vegetation and natural vegetation, seeds, insects etc and stay on a wild diet.

While these geese were lucky enough to end up here in safety, many are left behind once they cannot fly off with their family, surviving alone in the wild until they are either hit by cars or attacked by predators. A flock animal has safety in his flock and is not safe alone.

Remember, bread, or any other type of refined and processed foods, is not healthy for any animal. If you visit your neighborhood pond to feed the waterfowl, ditch the bread and offer healthy foods like melons, shredded vegetables, leafy greens, or peas. Plain, cheap, regular bird seed is also a great and healthy treat. With this simple switch, the waterfowl get to stay and fly around with their families like they were intended to. Isn't that the best treat of all?

Be careful of the manatees! 🩵

"A herd of manatees has been spotted in the intracoastal waterways between Hampstead and Wrightsville Beach.

They have been spotted feeding by docks and banks where waterway traffic tends to be heavier. Manatees are very difficult to spot above water, so please exercise caution when enjoying your time on the water." ( )

Manatees are also a federally protected species, so any type of attempted or successful interaction with them is illegal. . Do NOT attempt to feed them, give them water or interact with them in any form. Please do not harass them by trying to swim with them, touch them or get close to them.

If you see them, please report any sightings to https://uncw.edu/research/major-programs/marine-mammal-stranding/manatee-sighting
