In the Fall Auction we added a trip auction for the first time. It was a successful experiment. If you have a vacation home and/or a timeshare and you would be willing to donate a weekend/week/?? that would be awesome. Please let me know.
As we've done in other auctions we will be putting together high quality items (NEW or Like NEW) in specific themed lots. I would love to get donations that would help put these together. The themes I want to focus on are the following:
Cat Themed or Cat Care - e.g. bed, collar, toys, treats, etc.
Dog Themed or Dog Care - e.g. bed, leash, collar, toys, treats, etc.
Wine Basket - e.g. Gift Card to Wine Cellar, Wine Glasses, Wine (all kinds)
Garden Basket - e.g. Gift Card to a Nursery, NEW Garden Tools, Kneeler, Garden Tool Holder, etc.
Donations can be dropped off at Frisky's or email me (djtravisano@gmail.com) to get my address to do a porch drop-off. Please only use this email address for Fundraiser communication. If you have questions about the wildlife or sanctuary please email Friskyswildlife@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your continued support!!
At Friskys, we have 3 main spheres of service to animals. Frisky's is a non-profit Wildlife Rehabilitation center located in Howard County, MD. We take in injured, orphaned, abandoned, or displaced wildlife. If you find an injured animal in your yard or along the side of the road, you can bring it to us for rehabilitation, where the goal is to always return them back to their natural home once they are well enough or old enough. If you are not sure how to transport an injured animal, you may call us for instructions on how to get it here safely.
We are a rescue center and home to Primates and other small exotics who have been kept as Pets and are no longer able to live with their owners. Monkeys are not meant to be pets, but unfortunately there are brokers who continue to sell primates even though it is illegal in many states to have a monkey as a pet. They become too difficult and demanding for most to handle and end up having to find another home. You cannot take the wild animal instincts out of a monkey. We provide a safe home with love and enrichments for those primates who end up without a home and have been imprinted by human care. These animals live the remainder of their lives at Friskys and are never adopted out.
