Apples
Apples and essentially all fruit are always in high demand as they expire quickly and get ate even faster by our patients. At the moment the most urgent fruit we need are:
- Apples (any kind)
- Salmon Ash Berries (preferably in bushels)

NUTRICAL Supplement
Due to its expense it is hard to buy in bulk for us but CRUCIAL to our young patients! We add this in young mammals and bird's milk to give them an extra caloric and nutritional boost when they're at their most vulnerable.
Buying us even one tube goes a long way!

Meat
We are ALWAYS happy to accept meat of any kind. Feeding our carnivorous patients is costly and donations are always a huge help. We prefer no ground meat if possible but freezer burnt meat and fish is great!
Wooden or Plastic Tongs
Tongs are one of the best tools we can use when force feeding a sick patient, feeding a Bird of Prey or other somewhat dangerous intake. These allow our caretakers to feed and examine patients safely and can be easily sterilized.
