The Barry R. Kirshner Wildlife Foundation Relocation Fund
The Butte County Board of Supervisors has given The Barry R. Kirshner Wildlife Foundation until October of 2010 to relocate. A new property has been found, however meeting the October 2010 deadline to completely relocate all of the animals presents a tremendous challenge. It is estimated that about $250,000 will be needed to build enough enclosures to house the current resident animals at the new facility. If this October 2010 deadline is not met they will be forced to close the sanctuary. Many animals which currently reside at the Kirshner Foundation have special medical needs and finding homes for each and every one of these animals may be impossible. The animals that cannot be placed will face euthanasia. We must not let this happen.

These animals have the potential to inspire minds and to change lives! They are but a few of the natural wonders that we are close to losing forever.
