Cochran mill Nature Center maintains a sizeable collection of resident education animals as well as transient animals passing through our doors as part of our wildlife rehabilitation program. The care and feeding of this assemblage of creatures can often be a daunting and expensive undertaking. As a non-profit educational and rehab facility we rely heavily upon the generosity and kindness of our corporate and private supporters. Donations from these sources help us to cover a large portion of the expenses incurred in the feeding and care of our wildlife collection. We have implemented a program called “Adopt an Animal” or “AAA”. Through this program a group or individual can “adopt” a specific animal or animals and through their “adoption” donation assist directly in the care and feeding of their particular animal. Upon selecting a specific “adoptee” animal from the list, the “sponsor-to-be” will fill out a simple form and submit it with a donation of $25.00 to be used for the maintenance of his/her chosen critter.

AAA brochures are available at the center or online at our website. The sponsor will receive, in appreciation of their support, a certificate of adoption with a color photo of their selected animal as well as an informative “bio” sheet with pertinent information about their new adoptee. The adoption certificates are suitable for framing and make wonderful gifts for the nature lover(s) in your life. Kids especially love the idea of coming to visit with their adopted animals. The donors will also be acknowledged with a placard at or near the animal’s enclosure.

It is our goal at CMNC to provide our resident creatures with the best care possible and it is with the help of our generous supporters that we can realize this goal.
