As a data-driven organization, we rely on statistics to understand our impact and plan for the future. After a particularly demanding summer, we took a moment to analyze our numbers, and the results were truly staggering. The demand for our services is growing rapidly, and we're incredibly grateful for your support in meeting this challenge.

Here’s a snapshot of our growth, highlighting the increasing need for our vital work (data up to February 28, 2025):

  • Rescue Calls:
    • 2022/2023: 575 calls
    • 2023/2024: 946 calls (64% increase)
    • 2024/2025 (to date): 1,202 calls (27% increase so far)
  • Rescues Attended:
    • 2022/2023: 297 rescues
    • 2023/2024: 473 rescues (59% increase)
    • 2024/2025 (to date): 495 rescues (4% increase so far)
  • Animals Receiving Medical Intervention:
    • 2022/2023: 146 animals
    • 2023/2024: 238 animals (61% increase)
    • 2024/2025 (to date): 324 animals (36% increase)
  • Animals Released/In Care:
    • 2022/23: 81 animals released.
    • 2023/24: 104 animals released (28% increase).
    • 2024/25 (to date): 129 animals released (24% increase)

These numbers demonstrate the escalating need for our services, outpacing our current operational capacity. Despite this, our dedicated volunteers continue to work tirelessly. Your generous donations are crucial in enabling us to meet this growing demand and continue providing essential care to these vulnerable animals.

We are profoundly grateful for your ongoing support. Your contributions directly impact our ability to rescue, rehabilitate, and release these precious creatures back into the wild.

Thank you for being a vital part of our mission.
