Austin Wildlife Rescue

Last night, Athena’s owlet was released at the Wildflower Center, nearly five months after being rescued from its nest here. The owlet had been presumed dead after Athena left the nest, but the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Bird Cams team continued watching and spotted movement. Austin Wildlife Rescue came to its aid and cared for it as it grew, with the help of a foster great horned owl. We’re grateful to everyone who helped the owlet reach this moment. Thank you to Wildflower Center volunteer Bill J. Boyd for capturing this photo. Read KUT’s story about the release: https://lnkd.in/ePiwkbr6

For nearly 50 years, Austin Wildlife Rescue has been there when our community finds injured and orphaned wildlife. Every day, people arrive at our doors with Texas wildlife in desperate need of help. Now, we're building the future. With approval from Austin City Council, Austin Wildlife Rescue is taking the first step toward creating a more permanent Intake Center—a dedicated space where every rescue story begins and where thousands of wild animals each year will receive the immediate care they need. To help make this vision a reality, we're launching a $500,000 campaign at our 9th Annual Caring for Critters Brunch & Auction on October 17. We're currently looking for: 🦉 Event Sponsors – Help underwrite the event so that 100% of donations support wildlife care. 🦊 Leadership Donors & Matching Gifts – Make an even greater impact as we build this next chapter. 🦅 Auction Donations – Experiences, artwork, travel, dining, entertainment, and unique items that help raise critical funds. This isn't just an investment in a building—it's an investment in the future of wildlife rehabilitation across Central Texas. If your company, organization, or family is interested in becoming a sponsor or donating an auction item, we'd love to partner with you. 📧 Contact Heather at admin@austinwildliferescue.org to learn more. Together, we can Build the Future of AWR—one rescue at a time.
