NoCo Wildlife Center Celebrates Women's History Month!

Image
March is Women’s History Month — and we’re proud to celebrate as a women-led nonprofit organization serving wildlife and our community. At Northern Colorado Wildlife Center, women are leading on the frontlines of wildlife medicine, rehabilitation, education, conservation research, and nonprofit leadership. From late-night feedings and critical medical cases to policy conversations and community outreach, women are helping shape the future of wildlife care in Colorado. Wildlife rehabilitation is demanding, science-based, and deeply mission-driven work. This month, we celebrate the strength, expertise, resilience, and compassion of the women who power this organization — and the countless women in conservation whose leadership often goes unseen. If you’d like to help empower the work these incredible women are doing each and every day of the year, donations can be made at: https://www.coloradogives.org/donate/Nocowildlife⁠ You can also mail or drop off a gift at: Northern Col...

Mink Fundraiser Organized by Northern Colorado Wildlife Center

Image
This American mink now has a second chance at life — and we’re working to fully fund his rehabilitation! Our goal is to raise $1,000 to cover everything he’ll need while he’s with us: species-appropriate food, fresh water, veterinary care, safe housing, enrichment, and the daily hands-on support that gives him the best chance at returning to the wild. Mink are intelligent, high-energy, semi-aquatic animals. Their care is specialized, and we’re committed to giving him not just the basics, but the level of care he truly deserves. Would you consider chipping in to help us reach this goal? Every gift, no matter the size, moves us closer to fully funding his recovery. You can donate online at www.nocowildlife.org⁠ Or mail a gift to: 2637 Midpoint Drive, Suite E Fort Collins, CO 80525 Together, we can turn one rescue into one successful release. 💚 . . #WildlifeRehab #AmericanMink #ColoradoWildlife #WildlifeRescue #Nocowildlifecenter

First Ever Evening Bat Patient Admitted to NoCo Wildlife Center

Image
Last month, our team admitted a bat we initially believed to be one of Colorado’s more common species. But during her exam, our staff and supporters noticed subtle physical traits that didn’t quite add up. Rather than assuming, we looked closer. After collaborating with CSU’s bat biologists, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and other bat experts, she was confirmed to be an evening bat — marking the first known record in northern Colorado and only the fourth documented in the entire state. Evening bats are typically found in the southeastern and central United States, which makes her presence here especially rare. While we don’t yet know exactly why she appeared in this region, possibilities include natural dispersal, shifting habitat conditions, broader environmental changes, or even an existing colony that has simply gone undocumented. Wildlife rehabilitation centers are often on the front lines of detecting changes in species distribution. Careful intake, strong...

It's Official, January 2026 was Northern Colorado Wildlife Center's Busiest January on Record!

Image
January 2026 was officially our busiest January yet! Since January 1st 2026, our team has admitted 87 wildlife patients, including songbirds, bats, snow geese, crows, rabbits, squirrels, and more. These animals arrived sick, injured, displaced, or orphaned and in urgent need of care. Even in what is typically considered a slower season, we’re admitting multiple animals every single day. Behind the scenes, this level of response comes with significant and ongoing costs. From food, diagnostics, and medical supplies to biohazard handling, disinfectants, recovery space, and skilled and licensed rehabilitator labor, our team is working daily to ensure every patient receives the care they need to recover. We are deeply grateful to our staff, volunteers, referral partners, and supporters who make this lifesaving work possible. If you’d like to help us continue meeting this growing need, donations can be made online at www.nocowildlife.org. Donations can also be mailed or dropped o...
