Bear cubs rehabilitation funding
Donation protected
Raising some funds to support the wildlife rehabilitation of two local 3-month old orphan bear cubs.
My name is Jon Waskiewicz. I'm from Templeton, MA in north central Massachusetts. The cubs I'm raising money for are local to me. The money raised will be spent by the designated rehabber, Ben Kilham, on food, supplies for shelter, supplies for general care, etc. as it's estimated to cost $1500 per cub for their care until they are able to be released and be on their own. The funds will be withdrawn by me when I get a decent sum to deliver and will be delivered directly to Ben at his rehab facility in Lyme, NH. I will post an update when I withdraw and deliver with the amount delivered at that time.
The two cubs were orphaned and rescued early this morning after their mother was killed while touching an electrical line passing a tree they were climbing.
The cubs were brought to Tufts for evaluation, are said to be in great health, and are waiting to go to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator that is equipped for and can currently take bear cubs.
MassWildlife will let me know which rehabber they will be going to in the next few days.
A local smaller animal wildlife rehabber (Sigi, Sigi's Wild Tails) estimates it'll cost $1000 per cub for the next 12-15 months they will be cared for (housing, food, and any common medical treatment) before being released back into the wild.
