A LOT! In 2010 (so far) the Rainbow Wildlife Rescue accepted animals from 43 Texas Counties, went through over 70 lbs Fox Valley milk replacers plus spent money on 60 lbs of dog and catfood and an average of $100 worth of fresh produce WEEKLY.

We spent a lot more on medical supplies, medical care, bottles, cleaning supplies, caging, bedding, canned food, meats, live food, repairs, maintenance, and not to forget the utility bills that are 5 times higher than average when the rescue is full. The phone bill also triples during baby season.

The following points are a few examples of how your donation can help:

• $1000 covers the utility bills for 3 months
• $ 500 pays for raising an infant raccoon
• $ 250 feeds a 3 opossums from infant to release
• $ 100 provides infant formula for 3 squirrels
• $ 50 pays for bird food from nestling to adult
• $ 40 pays for 30 lbs bag of Premium dog food
• $ 20 covers the de-wormer to fight internal parasites
• $ 10 provides fresh produce for 2 days
