Adopt-a-Critter Program

Our MooseWood critters are important. They help us educate and fascinate people of all ages and they receive very little in return. Not all of our friendly critters are having their needs fully met by us. Proper care for animals is a time consuming and costly job; however, we love and appreciate our critters and want to give them everything they need.

In an effort to create a fund solely for care of our many critters, the Adopt-a-Critter Program has been reinstated. These funds will be used for veterinary costs, habitat upgrades, maintenance, and food.

To Adopt-a-Critter, you can fill out a form, choose your favorite critter, and make a donation. Classes, clubs, scouts and teams can help provide care for an animal, learn about natural history and have a mascot! On-site visits to view your adopted animal are encouraged. Animal adoptions are for one year unless otherwise noted and make great gifts:

Critter Champion 2-years ($500)
Adopt three animals of your choice, adoption certificate, fun fact sheet about your animal, animal photo, recognition on animal habitat, and recognition in the MooseWood Nature Center newsletter, and private animal feeding event (up to 5 people).

Critter Guardian 2-years ($300)
Adopt two animals of your choice, adoption certificate, fun fact sheet about your animal, animal photo, recognition on animal habitat, and recognition in the MooseWood Nature Center newsletter.

Critter Friend ($100)
Adopt an animal of your choice, adoption certificate, fun fact sheet about your animal, animal photo, recognition on animal habitat.

Jr. Adopt-a-Critter ($50)
For children 12 and younger, Adopt an animal of your choice, adoption certificate, fun fact sheet about your animal, animal photo.

Critters needing adoption include: Frogs (Eastern Gray Tree, Spring Peeper), Snakes (Corn, Ball Python), Turtles (Painted, Red-eared Sliders, Common Snapping, Three-toed Box, Eastern Box), and Blue Spotted Salamander.
