Baby Snapping Turtle Update!

Our baby snapping turtles are growing stronger every day!

They’re practicing their camouflage skills, settling into their habitats, and continuing to eat like crazy as they build the strength they’ll need to thrive in the wild. Along with all that growth, they’re receiving daily hands-on care and ongoing veterinary oversight to ensure they stay healthy and on track for a successful release.

Right now, we’re running a $1,000 baby turtle sponsorship fundraiser, and we’re hoping to find a few more turtle heroes willing to help cover their next meals and several months of care. Each $1,000 donor earns the naming rights to one of these hatchlings, along with a symbolic adoption certificate and an invitation to their spring release.

If you’d like to help support these turtles, you can make a tax-deductible donation at:
https://www.coloradogives.org/donate/Nocowildlife

You can also mail or drop off a gift to our center at:
Northern Colorado Wildlife Center
2637 Midpoint Drive, Suite E
Fort Collins, CO 80525

Thank you for helping give these turtles the strong start they deserve and for being part of their journey back to the wild.

It’s Wishlist Wednesday — and this week, our wildlife patients are going nuts for… well, nuts! 🌰 Our wildlife hospital is running low on in-shell nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans). These nutritious treats are a vital part of the recovery diets for our small mammals and birds, helping them build strength and practice natural foraging behaviors before release. If you’d like to help, you can send donations directly from our Amazon or Chewy Wishlists (https://a.co/2XODgLa), or drop off nuts in the shell at our center: 2637 Midpoint Drive, Suite E, Fort Collins, CO 80525 Every handful helps fuel the recovery of patients like squirrels, jays, chipmunks, and other wildlife preparing to return home to the wild. Thank you for always stepping up for Colorado’s wild neighbors — your support keeps us going strong through every season! 🐿💚 . . #WishlistWednesday #WildlifeRehabilitation #WildlifeRescue #WildlifeCenter #WildlifeHospital #ColoradoWildlife #NCWC #WildlifeSupp...

Would you believe us if we told you we admitted a dragon today at our wildlife hospital?

Would you believe us if we told you we admitted a dragon today at our wildlife hospital? We hope the answer is yes—because that’s exactly what happened! Today, our team welcomed a Chinese water dragon through a transfer from our friends at @nocohumane for a short but important stay until his new adoptive family could pick him up from our center. This sweet, docile lizard was surrendered by his previous family when they had to move and were unable to bring him along. Thanks to our transfer partnership, he was able to receive excellent care while we helped facilitate a smooth, timely adoption into what we hope will be a loving forever home right here in Fort Collins. Relationships like this ensure animals receive the best possible care while making adoption transitions as seamless and convenient as possible for both families and animal welfare organizations. Chinese water dragons are intelligent and curious reptiles known for their vibrant green scales and gentle personalities. Native to...
