It with a very heavy heart that I write this post, so bare with me...
Due to personal circumstances of the board members, a lack of public interest, and the loss of our facility coming this summer, CWA has decided to dissolve as a 501c3 avian rescue.
For over 10 years, CWA has rescued, rehabilitated and adopted out abused, neglected and/or unwanted parrots in Wyoming and the surrounding states. Since inception, CWA has placed thousands of birds. The work we have done matters.
When a 501c3 dissolves, the organization must either turn over all assets to the government or to another like 501c3 organization. CWA has decided to disperse all birds and assets to SWEAR. SouthWest Exotic Avian Rescue (SWEAR) is a 100% volunteer, 501(c)3 nonprofit avian rescue based in Las Vegas, Nevada. For many years, CWA and SWEAR have operated as sister rescues, helping each other out, in the best interest of the birds. We are so very grateful that SWEAR has stepped up and helped CWA out during this very difficult time.
Wyoming may have another 501c3 avian rescue coming soon.
CWA adopter, Charlene W., has decided that she wants to start her own rescue (Friends of Feather). When everything is official, we will share all of the information for the public.
CWA has filed our intent to dissolve with the state of Wyoming and the IRS. CWA will be completely dissolved the summer of 2024 and a public announcement will be made with every step and detail of the dissolution.
