🚨 Emergency Heat Help Needed by Wednesday!
From Thursday through Sunday, Cotton Branch Refuge is preparing for one of the most dangerous heat stretches of the year for the animals in our care.
The heat index is expected to be over 100 degrees each day, with heavy humidity that makes it even harder for animals to cool their bodies down
We need to raise $3,000 by Wednesday, July 1st
We need to buy supplies, prepare cooling areas, and get the refuge heat-ready before the worst of it arrives.
We cannot wait until Thursday to get ready.
