Abandoned, orphaned and injured animals find sanctuary and rehabilitation at Lowell Farm & Wildlife Center. Owner Sjana Gordon, who founded the center 23 years ago, is certified and licensed by the DNR to rehabilitate wild animals. Gordon and the volunteers who help make homes for the sick and injured animals, run the center solely on donations to care for the animals. “Donations of any kind are very much needed and appreciated,” she said.

 

On Saturday,  Dec. 3, the center hold it’s annual Christmas time sale of handcrafted items to raise funds to benefit the animals.  All kinds of animals are welcome at the center, with more added all the time. Some are rehabilitated and released, to others it is their permanent home.

 

Fabio, the huge, elderly resident wild turkey, has company with the latest addition. “We have a white female turkey found wandering the streets in downtown Grand Rapids the day after Thanksgiving,” Gordon said.

The center has a wish list of things that they always need and can be alternatives to cash donations. The list includes general bedding, all kinds of cleaning supplies, paper goods, general supplies, firewood, produce, medical/newborn supplies and other foods; animal feeds from duck, rabbit and goat pellets to unsalted peanuts and hay.

 

To donors, Gordon said: “We thank you from the tips of our antlers to the bottom of our cottontails.”
