Animals For Awareness is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational facility. Your generous donation is TAX DEDUCTIBLE as allowed for by law. AFA holds and maintains a current USDA license as well as several Illinois Department of Conservation permits. Our 100% volunteer-run facility is devoted to exotic and wild animals in need. AFA takes in unwanted, abused, neglected, confiscated or otherwise displaced exotic critters and wildlife. All animals receive check-ups upon arrival and undergo any necessary veterinary treatment. Wildlife is turned over to AFA Board Member Vicki Geise who is licensed by the state and federal government to rehabilitate and release native Illinois animals, including deer, raptors and protected birds. Exotic animals and unreleasable wildlife live their lives out at AFA or are re-homed to a USDA facility more suited for that animal. AFA will occasionally have small domestic critters (i.e., ferrets, chinchillas, rabbits, kittens) for adoption to suitable homes.
