Owl’s Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife is proud to now own our property, giving us a permanent home where rescued wildlife can receive consistent, high-quality care. While this milestone secures our future, we are still carrying a mortgage and continuing to invest in the infrastructure needed to responsibly care for both wildlife patients and ambassador animals.
Your support helps us maintain long-term stability while building, upgrading, and expanding the habitats that allow animals to heal safely and thrive.
What Your Donation Supports
Contributions to this fund help cover essential property costs and the development of new and improved enclosures, including:
New Habitat Construction
- A new aviary for recovering birds and ambassador species
- A dedicated otter enclosure, designed for enrichment, water access, and natural behaviors
- New raptor enclosures that provide space, security, and reduced stress during rehabilitation
- A new gopher tortoise enclosure, supporting Florida’s keystone species
- A softshell turtle water pond, allowing aquatic species to recover in a more natural environment
Enclosure Refreshes & Facility Improvements
- Refurbishing existing bobcat and fox enclosures
- Improvements to flying squirrel habitats
- Updates to raptor enclosures and the flight barn, ensuring safe conditioning and pre-release readiness
These upgrades allow us to meet evolving care standards, respond to increasing intake numbers, and provide humane, species-appropriate environments for animals that cannot return to the wild.
Building a Sustainable Future
In addition to habitat development, donations help offset mortgage and operational costs, ensuring Owl’s Nest can remain a permanent refuge for wildlife in need. Property ownership allows us to plan long-term conservation efforts, expand educational outreach, and invest in infrastructure that serves animals for decades to come.
How Funds Are Used
Every donation supports wildlife care.
All funds received are directed to where they are most urgently needed. While donors may designate a specific cause, Owl’s Nest always prioritizes animals whose situations are the most critical, ensuring immediate, life-saving care and responsible stewardship of every contribution.
Thank you for helping us build—and sustain—a sanctuary where Florida wildlife can heal, recover, and inspire future generations.
