Contribute - Ways to Help
There are many ways that you can contribute to Treehouse and make a difference in the lives of the animals that we receive and care for.
Memberships
One way of helping Treehouse operate is through purchasing a membership. A Treehouse Membership costs just $15 a year, and includes:
- our periodic newsletter, Treehouse Droppings, which features educational articles and stories about our patients
- a special invitation to the Members Only Open House held in June
Membership contributions help to pay for expenses directly related to caring for our wildlife such as food, medication, and shelter.

Adopt an Animal
The Adopt an Animal program is a great way for people to contribute to an individual animal's needs. One option is to adopt one of the many orphaned animals that we get in every spring. Orphaned animals are identified as adoptees when they are admitted and the adoption fee is based on the approximate cost of raising that particular species (formula, medications, etc.) from the time of admission to the time of release. An adoption includes a certificate and photograph of your adopted orphan.
Permanent residents are available year round for adoption. As above, each adoption includes a certificate and a photo and the fees for permanent resident adoptions are based on the cost of food for one year.
