The public is invited to a Wildlife Baby Shower at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care (LTWC) is holding a Born to Be Wild: Wildlife Baby Shower on Saturday, April 20th, 2024. The public is invited to drop in at any time between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Each year hundreds of wild baby animals are brought to the center in desperate need – whether due to sickness, injury, or being orphaned. In their hour of need, it is unwavering support from the public that becomes their lifeline.

This family-friendly event welcomes all ages and is free to the public, but participants are encouraged to bring much-needed donations from their Wishlist.

Join them for special educational presentations, insights from rehabilitation staff, and a very special reveal! They’ll unveil the gender of Porky, LTWC's beloved ambassador porcupine.

Can’t attend? You can still support local wildlife by making a donation. Consider contributing online, sending a check, or purchasing supplies from the Wishlist. The LTWC center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for drop-offs, or gifts can be sent directly to LTWC.
