Auction is OVER - NO MORE BIDDING! But, now is your opportunity to pick up anything with NO bids for just $5.00 . Simply put MINE in the comments and it will be yours. This is first come, first gets. Grab those skirts, I have and wear, and they are great. Facebook has become so limiting in who sees anything other than paid for advertising, it is no worth the hours of work that go into facilitating an auction. I was hoping for a better outcome, but this has to be it. So, that being said, grab what you can, as you won't see these again. I will keep this open through the weekend, so please share so as many as possible can see

From St Francis Wildlife Association

Please DO NOT offer yarn, string or human hair for birds to build nests!

Every year St. Francis Wildlife receives wild birds, both babies and adults, with this material wrapped around their feet. It can sometimes result in the bird losing its foot or entire leg from the yarn/string/hair slowly tightening and cutting off circulation .

DO NOT offer laundry dryer lint either. The lint collected in your dryer filter may seem like ideal nesting material, but it isn’t. It will soak up water and may be steeped with chemicals unhealthy for birds, such as remnants of detergent and softener.

Also a warning about offering pet fur. If your pets are treated with flea/tick/lice treatments which stay on the fur, this can be harmful to birds collecting it for nesting material. DO NOT offer pet hair that has been exposed to any chemicals.
(Thanks to Wildlife Rescue Nests for the photo and above text.)

Birds have plenty of natural materials for nest building: twigs, dried leaves, grass and flower stems, pine straw, shed snake skins, Spanish moss, lichen, etc.

The best way to help wildlife is by:

1) planting native plants that attract the native insects they eat;
2) not using chemical pesticides that actually poison their food supply; and
3) keeping your cats inside, especially during this baby season.

Thank you for caring about wildlife!

It’s that time of year…please be careful for bunny burrows when you cut the grass for the first time this year. ❤️ 🐇 ❤️ Here’s a great idea if you happen to find one!

What a wonderful blessing our precious friend Parichart Elliott orchestrated this and did an amazing job. Thank you to everyone who gave and worked to make this happen. We have wet food and litter for the kitties. Now we pray God blesses us with dry food. Once again thank you to everyone who donated. We love each one of you. We cannot do what we do without your help. ❤️🐈‍⬛❤️

12 pallets hand loaded in Macon and hand unloaded in Jesup! The rescue foodbank has 6 more pallets for us that we will go back with a truck and trailer to pick up next week. On this truck, we were able to get 3 pallets of wet cat food, 1/4 pallet dry cat/kitten food, and 3 pallets of litter for our FabuCats and kittens and SafeHollow Sanctuary. We were also able to help 3 local area dog rescues by bringing back 3 pallets of wet dog food and 3 pallets of dry dog food for them.

Rescue work is always challenging, but the challenges of renovations and relocation have been especially daunting. We are so grateful for the kind generosity of everyone who sponsored or contributed towards a pallet—because of you, for the next month or so, how we’re going to fill little bellies is much less of a challenge. Thank you Nancy Odum, Jonathan Ellis, Jennifer Wilson Wasdin, Julie Miller Arendale, Barbara Mcdonald, Kimberly Quick Browning, Greg & Shelby Anderson, Melanie Padilla, Terri Meyers, Heidi Woods, Michaela Hamlin, and Beth Hester. A special thank you to El Dorado Mexican & Japanese Cuisine and Brittany for sponsoring THREE pallets! Ya’ll go show them some love…and treat yourself to Pepe’s Salsa and the Volcano Dip (🤤) on the menu—you’re welcome! 😁
❤️🐈❤️
We also want to thank Mark Gagnon and Teresa Gagnon for driving the truck and all your hard work loading and Nick Ellis and Krystal Pearsey-Ellis for sending your son and nephews to help unload. Thank you boys for getting up early on a Saturday morning to help—you’re all fabulous! Chloe Johnson also got up early to help—after a week of student teaching eighth graders and before working a Saturday night shift serving at a busy out of town restaurant.

Anthropologist Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” We know this to be true, indeed.
