ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION


OVER A DECADE OF CARING FOR INJURED AND ORPHANED FAWNS





FOR THE LOVE OF FAWNS

On behalf of our injured and orphaned fawn population, Kindred Spirits Fawn
Rescue (KSFR) is a non-profit community-supported organization licensed by the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Our mission is to rehabilitate fawns
with a goal of returning a healthy animal back into the wild.


AREAS SERVED

We are located in Placer County California and also serve Yolo County, Nevada
County, and Sacramento County. This area includes these cities and many more:
Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Auburn, Meadow Vista, Foresthill, Cool, Penryn,
Colfax, Tahoe City, Carnelian Bay, Loomis, Grass Valley, Nevada City, and many
more. If you have found a fawn please read the instructions below immediately.


OF INSTINCT AND ENVIRONMENT

Rural growth and development has played havoc with the deer’s ability to reach
water, fields and wooded sanctuaries while introducing noise and obstructions
that challenge their instincts and the safety of their populations.

Ours is a duty to rescue, rehabilitate and release back into the wild the young
caught and often injured between our two worlds. 


YOUR INVALUABLE SUPPORT

KSFR relies 100% upon your generosity of donations and grants to prepare
specialized diets, provide post-operative care and recovery assistance, and
support a tranquil environment from human contact to foster vital peer
socialization for release to the wild when ready.

HOW TO HELP A SICK, INJURED OR ORPHANED FAWN




911 FAWN RESCUE


WARNING – UNINTENTIONAL ABDUCTION 

Mother’s will often leave their fawns while grazing for food. If you are
concerned the fawn has been orphaned please observe it from a distance for at
least 4 HOURS before contacting Kindred Spirits Fawn Rescue.




INJURED OR SICK FAWNS

If the fawn is clearly INJURED or SICK please CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY! Our
service is available at NO CHARGE 24 HOURS a day, 7 DAYS a week. (530) 889-5822.




TEMPORARY CARE FOR A FAWN

Should you find this animal on the side of the road or a trail, the most
important thing you can do for the fawn is secure it in a safe, dark
environment. A dog crate or a large box will work as a temporary home.

Make sure the fawn is kept warm with a blanket and hot water bottle or sock
filled with rice, which can be microwaved for 3 minutes then wrapped in a towel.




PLEASE DO NOT …

Do NOT give any food, water or medicine to the fawn. The fawn may require
emergency care or anesthesia.  Food or conflicting medicine could put the fawn
at great risk. 

DO NOT care for a sick, injured, or orphaned fawn yourself!  Rehabilitating
fawns is illegal for members of the public.

FAWN REHABILITATION



A rescued fawn will spend between 3 to 6 months under our care before it is
healthy and strong enough to be returned back into the wild. 

SPECIALIZED DIETS

Fawns have special dietary needs which vary by age and physical condition. We
constantly re-assess fawns in our care to ensure we are meeting their
nutritional requirements.

MAINTAINING WILD INSTINCTS

If a fawn loses its natural caution around humans it may lose its ability to
survive in the wild. This transition can happen quickly so it is important that
the fawn be turned over to the professional organization immediately.

TRANQUIL ENVIRONMENT

Fawns become highly stressed around humans whom they view as predators. It is
imperative that their environment while in rehab is quiet void of domestic pet
and human sounds and voices.

SOCIALIZATION

Fawns are herd animal in need of interaction with others of their species. This
is especially important for young fawns to insure that they learn communication
and social skills which aid in their survival in the wild.

Ask us about our elementry school program



Once the diagnosis for treatment has been determined the fawn is placed in
isolation to insure that it is not carrying any disease that could infect the
rest of the herd. The fawn is treated, fed and kept under observation for
several days.

When the fawns are old enough to care for themselves and are in good physical
condition they are released into the wild in accordance with the California
Department of Fish & Wildlife regulations to an appropriate habitat that meets
their needs.




MAN-MADE RISKES AND PREVENTION TIPS



BE A RESPONSIBLE OWNER


DOG ATTACK



When allowed to roam fields and neighborhoods (especially after dark), a loved
family pet often go on a rampage of destruction. They often join others forming
a pack that can become predators to a passing fawn or deer. After the chase, a
dog often loses interest and will abandon a mortally wounded deer. Although a
fawn may appear to have a superficial wound, the injury may be fatal. The terror
of the chase and capture will cause the fawn to go into shock, which is nature’s
way of numbing the animal from a painful death. Dogs often shake a fawn, which
causes air pockets under the skin that can result in a slow painful death.
Kindred Spirits Fawn Rescue receives numerous fawns in early spring and summer
that have been seriously injured by dog attacks. Please contain your dogs in a
fenced yard or run, and never allow them to roam.



WROUGHT IRON


FENCING THAT KILLS OR MAMES



Fawns — following their mothers — can’t yet jump over a fence so they will try
to squeeze between the bars of a wrought iron fence. Their shoulders are
narrower than their hips, so it is easy for them to get stuck half way
through. Fawns do not understand reverse so they will continue to push forward.
This can cause serious injuries and paralysis. An effective fix is to install a
2 foot wide, tight-weave wire fencing material to the bottom of the wrought iron
fence. This will discourage a fawn from attempting to go through. Sharply
pointed wrought iron posts are an even more deadly threat to deer. When
attempting to clear a fence, the deer may impale itself on the point, leading to
their slow and agonizing death. There are decorative railings that can be
installed along the top line of these fences to prevent such accidents.



BE ALERT


…AND HOLD THAT CAR HORN!



Deer travel the trails of their ancestors years after these trails have been
disrupted by roads, fences, and private divides. The time of day, season and
weather play a role in their routine as they are creatures of habit.
Construction plays havoc with the deer’s ability to reach water, food and wooded
sanctuaries. Simply put, they need to cross our roads to reach grazing areas or
their young. Early morning hours and ‘dusk to dawn’ add to the risk of deer
crossing the roadways. While deer recognize the immediate threat of an animal or
human predator and will run for safety, they do not understand the threat of a
fast moving vehicle, and honking horns do not register as a danger signal! They
do not comprehend that the sound is coming from the moving vehicle, but instead
interpret them as just sounds in the air. The deer will often stop in the middle
of the road to focus on your car horn as a confusing sound. So please, slow down
and stop if you must, but don’t honk your car horn to move a deer out of the
roadway.

WROUGHT IRON


FENCING THAT KILLS OR MAIMS

While wrought iron fencing can be a beautiful addition to any home, it can also
result in lethal injuries to deer. Fawns — following their mothers — can’t yet
jump over a fence so they will try to squeeze between the bars of a wrought iron
fence. Their shoulders are narrower than their hips, so it is easy for them to
get stuck half way through. Fawns do not understand reverse so they will
continue to push forward. This can cause serious injuries and paralysis. An
effective fix is to install a 2 foot wide, tight-weave wire fencing material
with mesh no larger than a maximum of 2”X4” to the bottom of the wrought iron
fence. This will discourage a fawn from attempting to go through. Sharply
pointed wrought iron posts are an even more deadly threat to deer. When
attempting to clear a fence the deer may impale itself on the point. This leads
to their slow and agonizing death. There are decorative railings that can be
