Give Local Louisville, Sept. 15
Give Local Louisville is a 24-hour online giving day created to inspire people to give generously to the nonprofits that make our community a better, more vital place to live. In 2015, we made history; we raised $3 million through 8,785 gifts for the 362 participating nonprofits -- a more than $1 million increase over the previous year.
Give Local Louisville returns on Thursday, September 15. And our goal is simple - to raise more money for more nonprofits. We want to again inspire thousands of people to give to the local causes they care about and to turn their collective generosity into impact for our community. This year, over 600 nonprofits are taking part in this city-wide movement to advance Louisville.
This is an easy way to make a donation to Raptor Rehab of KY. Just mark your calendars for Sept. 15th!

Kentucky State Fair, August 18 - 28
|
A big THANK YOU to all our friends and supporters who came to visit us at the Kentucky State Fair. Your donations help keep us going. In fact, if we did not have your support, we could not continue to rescue these beautiful raptors! We hope you enjoy your new tshirts, and tell everyone where you got them.
And we want to thank all our volunteers who worked above and beyond the call of duty this year. Many worked a double shift on more than one day, as well as coming to the center for their regular shift cleaning cages and caring for the raptors. You ROCK! |

Help Protect Our Birds of Prey
Our work started in the 1980's with a group of dedicated volunteers. RROKI became incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1990. We are an all volunteer group dedicated to the rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned birds of prey. We rely solely on the dedication of volunteers and the generosity of our supporters.
We take in between 250-300 sick, injured and orphaned raptors every year, and release over 60% back into the wild. We count on the public to help get injured birds to us. The birds may have been hit by cars, flown into windows, or gotten caught in barbed wire fences. Although protected by state and federal laws, we still receive raptors who have been shot and poisoned. The saddest cases are those young birds who have been "saved" by people and are now imprinted - they think they are people. Those unfortunate imprints cannot be released back into the wild although there is nothing physically wrong with them. They have a mental problem and don't know how to act like birds.
If you find an injured raptor, please call us at 502-491-1939 and leave a message if we can't get to the phone right away.
