Welcome Center and Medical Clinic Capital Campaign 2012
Today, all of our most critical patients are taken care of in the same building that serves as the intake and visitor's center. It can often feel like having too many people in the ICU! But this is all about to change as we break ground on our new Welcome Center and Admissions Building at the end of this summer. The new building will provide a dedicated area for the public to drop off admissions and learn more about their patient and our work. It will also free up much needed space in our clinic. Thanks to generous donations from the Red Acre, Baldwin, Martha Morse, and Knistrom Foundations, individual donors, a private estate gift, and Woodin & Co. Interior we are more than halfway to our goal! Be a part of this milestone in our history by donating online below or mailing a check to: Center for Wildlife, PO Box 620, Cape Neddick, ME 03902.
“On the Wings of Research” Owl Transmitter Project On December 26, 2010 Phyllis and John Cacoulidis found an injured great horned owl on Hope Island and brought him to Dr. Vassey at the Animal Emergency Clinic in Portland, ME. Center for Wildlife gladly admitted the owl whom had eye trauma, and with intensive and supportive care from staff, volunteers, and interns the owl is now flying well in a large flight enclosure, and has regained full health except for perfect vision in his left eye. With limited funding for wildlife care, there is little to no research done on the survivability of one-eyed owls, which poses many questions to wildlife clinics worldwide on prognosis, how and when to release, and much more. Owls also rely on silent flight and their excellent sense of hearing for hunting and feeding themselves, so is it possible that they can survive without perfect vision? Setting out to get some answers CFW has been working with Biodiversity Research Institute, and now has the amazing opportunity to place a safe transmitter on the owl to track location, movement, and survivability after release! This project will also:
The equipment, data, and analysis of the transmitter can be expensive and we are fortunate to have some lead gifts in this project. We have raised $2,000 thanks to the Cacoulidis family (the rescuers!), and a challenge match of $1,000 from Eddie Woodin of Woodin and Co. Interior. You can make your donation online or by mail, or email donations@yorkcenterforwildlife.org to speak with a staff member and learn more!

Planned Giving Many people often consider donating through a charitable bequest or legacy gift, especially when the state of the economy can make monetary donations challenging. Charitable bequests not only help to fund our general operating expenses, but can offer long-term financial sustainability, and ensure that we can carry on our work for generations to come. In addition to bequests, it is possible to support the Center for Wildlife through:
