AFA lost a dear friend and veterinarian
on June 21, 2004. Kim and Mike were business partners and close
friends for 13 years. Mike also served on AFA's Board of Directors
since its incorporation in 1997. He will be painfully missed on so
many levels.
A
Memorial Guestbook
in Mike's memory has been set up for those wish to leave a few words,
or simply want to read the impact he left on the lives of others.

What is Animals for Awareness?
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 Weiland who is licensed by the state and federal
government to rehabilitate and release native Illinois animals,
including deer, raptors and other federally protected birds. Exotic
animals and unreleasable wildlife live out their lives 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.
AFA is
NOT able to take in domestic cats, dogs, iguanas, rabbits, guinea
pigs, rats, or farm animals at this time. Calls/emails regarding
such animal give-ups CANNOT be returned due to the heavy volume
received.
Animals for Awareness
specializes in humane education
programs, which are individually tailored to meet your needs!
Help the animals and have fun at the same
time when you book an AFA Animal Program!
