ABOUT OUR FOUNDER:

When Fran Kitchen was 18, she took in an orphaned baby robin a neighbor had found. She went to the library and researched robins: what they ate, and how they lived. She then raised the tiny bird to adulthood, eventually releasing it back into the wild. In the 54 years since, Kitchen, of Akron, has devoted her life to rehabilitating wild animals in Northeast Ohio. She has helped tens of thousands of orphaned or injured squirrels, rabbits, birds, foxes, raccoons, opossums and more return to the wild, earning a spot alongside Bob Evans and Johnny Appleseed in the Ohio Natural Resources Hall of Fame in 2011. She also received the Lifetime Achievement award from the Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitation Association in 1999

Please share this post. Beginning May 18, 2026 until June 1, 2026 the facility will be closed. I am full and need to get some babies weaned before I can admit more. I am needing some time to get a little break and recharge my batteries. You will not be able to reach me during this closing. I will be back at it June 1st.
