Become a Monthly Donor

Your sustaining monthly contribution helps SOAR carry out our mission and achieve our goals -- improve the lives of all birds through raptor rehabilitation, education, and research! In 2019, SOAR admitted 351 patients, presented over 100 programs to schools, youth and community groups, and public events, and continues to collect and provide data for ongoing research projects. While 2020 did not allow for in-person programs, SOAR still admitted over 350 sick and injured wild birds.

Your donation helps keep high quality food in the freezer, necessary medicine on hand, and provide for needed veterinary care. Here are examples of how your donation can help!

Your $10 provides:

• 15 large mice delivered will feed one barn owl for three days or a screech owl for one week.
• Three quail delivered will feed one peregrine for four days.
• Two bags of compressed pine shavings at the store will fill six ICU crates once.

Every dollar is important and every dollar matters.

Your $20 provides:

• One tube of Nutri-Cal, delivered provides 10 high-calorie fluid feedings for our underweight patients.
• Six quail delivered will feed Decorah or Thora for six days.
• One blood lead level test done in-house.

"It takes a village..."

Your $30 provides:

• Administration of one dose of West Nile Virus vaccination – many education birds get this vaccination annually.  First time vaccination requires two doses!
• One small x-ray.

Your support provides essential care.

Support Patient Care

Bird patients, just like their human counterparts, are each unique. Treatment varies with each bird, but can include rehydration, special diets, de-worming, needing bandages, over-the-counter and prescription medicines, special therapies, plus visits to one of our veterinarians for x-rays, surgeries, and evaluation.

No matter the donation, each bird receives the highest quality of care. Please send your tax-deductible donation marked 'Patient Support.'
