Costa Rica Equipment Appeal
stretch goal
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Although we have reached our target for the emergency equipment replacements, the veterinary team in Costa Rica have let us know about another piece of equipment, which would be extremely helpful for caring for the animals. It’s called an IV Fluid Warmer, this machine warms the fluids before going inside the body. This is very useful for hypothermic animals or little infants that have problems keeping their body temperature. Any more donations for this appeal will go towards buying this piece of equipment.

We desperately need your support to raise $10,000 so we can purchase VITAL life-saving equipment in Costa Rica! It is an incredibly busy time for our staff at the rescue center. Our Vet Director Fran has reported we are seeing a huge influx of injured wildlife arrive into our care, and our equipment is being pushed to the limit in our efforts to treat every single one of them.
Animals are arriving with severe burns after being electrocuted by uninsulated power cables, others have been hit by cars or attacked by other animals.
We need funds to purchase FOUR vital pieces of equipment that will enable us to rescue and treat every single suffering animal in need!
We need to purchase the following items:
- Incubators - to keep baby animals warm and allow them to survive early, critical stages of their recovery.
- Monitors to find out important information about an animal’s condition to help us provide further treatment.
- A Gas Anaesthesia Machine to carry out surgeries safely and effectively.
- A dart gun to assist in the rescue of animals who may be out of reach of our team and will allow our staff to approach the animal safely.
Our center is entirely funded by the generosity of the public. If there’s anybody out there who can help, even just a few dollars will make a massive difference. Thank you so much for your support!
