Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue post plea for help

Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue have posted a plea for help as they approach a busy time of year.

The group are volunteer based and carry out a variety of rescues and callouts around the clock.

The page said it is a busy time of year for rescues as there can be nesting.

“The same few volunteers who update this page are the same few volunteers who are… Answering calls and voicemails, responding to emergency injured and/or trapped animals (some rescues can take hours), assessing injuries,

“Doing vet trips, medicating, cleaning, feeding (some up to every 15 minutes), maintaining equipment, sleeping next to intensive care incubators to ensure we can give all day all night care to those that need it, trying to fundraise to keep us open,

“Speaking to other rescues and sanctuaries for those needing lifelong care, dealing with accounts and so much more!”

They have outlined requests from locals in ways they can assist rescues and help make their job easier:

“Be patient with us, we don’t get paid for this, we rarely have time for ourselves… be kind!

“Where suitable (such as for small birds) prepare to arrange your own transport to us or your local vets, in the same time that we come to collect, we could have helped 3-4 more animals via drop off. – Birds with suspected broken wings/legs should go directly to a vet where possible.

“Please help us fundraise and/or donate, wildlife rescue is not cheap and there is no possible way to ‘go budget’ on quality care, we can only take in the number of animals/birds that we could give quality care for.

“Please support your local rescues, you’ll never know when you will need us!”
