Tails From The Hart

Tails From The Hart Tails From The Hart is an organization devoted to the rehabilitation of injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife.

06/16/2025

Tails From The Hart is temporarily closed for intake. I will try to take phone calls and texts to provide advice and refer folks to other licensed rehabilitators who have the capacity to provide quality care to wildlife in need. My ability is limited right now due to a number of factors, but I will try my best to help where I can.

If you need help, please contact Georgia Wildlife Network, as they can potentially help with connecting you to knowledgable wildlife rehabilitators who have the carrying / caring capacity to help. Please be aware of their limited hours and they only respond to texts, so communication may be delayed as a result. They are having technical difficulties right now, which also may add to their delay. However, they are committed to responding and helping everyone out, so please be patient.

Wildlife rehabilitators and those who support them have tons of difficulties and struggles - and not just related to the non-human animals they are helping. Please continue to support wildlife rehabilitators so we can help the animals - however little or much we personally can.

This is what a 2:30 am feeding looks like.

These fawns require round-the-clock care. And the ones pictured are the "cute" ones - ie, not the ones who have severe medical issues. I'll spare y'all the maggot fawn photos.

I'm sorry these babies need human intervention, but I'm also grateful that I'm in a place where I can help them.

While the Georgia Department of Natural Resources is in charge of issuing my annual license, I receive no money from the state government to help rebuild / restore our wildlife community. I rely only on donations, and my own income as a technical writer for a software company, to take care of these animals.

If you feel inclined to help, I'm working on building up an Amazon wishlist, which can be viewed here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/AZLCAHS2G3KS?ref_=wl_share

I'll also post my Venmo info in a comment in case you'd like to donate that way.

(Worth noting: I'm not 501(c)(3) certified yet, which means that any donations are not currently tax deductible. I'm working on that, but paperwork takes time! 🙃)

It's pretty difficult to bottle feed multiple fawns at once. With three fawns, I have a bottle in each hand, and a bottle between my knees. But with five fawns? They understand "Wait your turn" about as much as my five-year-old. 😂

Insert these bottle racks. It was a bit of a learning curve (even with five bottles, they still fought over them sometimes), but today, I successfully got all of the fawns to eat from the bottles at once!

Last week, I received a fawn from Hector, who found the abandoned fawn in his yard and took it to a vet's office for treatment. The fawn is doing so well now! He was dehydrated and emaciated, and thankfully, with the help of Woods Animal Hospital in Norcross and some TLC, he's really thriving in his new environment! He has four fawn siblings (two girls and two other boys) with him in the barn enclosure.

My vet's office was kind enough to examine one of my fawns yesterday! She has a congenital cataract, which impedes her vision out of that eye. Although her eye can't be fixed without surgery (which is cost-prohibitive), she may still be able to be released as long as she's with a group of other deer.

It's fawn season again! Please keep in mind that mother does protect their babies by tucking them away and leaving them for up to ten hours at a time. Many well-meaning folks think that the babies are abandoned when momma is still looking out for them! These two sweet fawns were definitely abandoned, so they're going to get the care and attention they need here at Tails From The Hart. Once they're old enough to survive on their own, they'll be released back into the wild.

Fawn season has begun! These two cuties were found abandoned by their moms, but a lot of fawns look abandoned when they're actually not! Mother deer leave their babies tucked and hidden away for up to 10 hours at a time in order to keep them safe from predators.

Check out this handy guide to determine if the fawn needs intervention or not.http://www.scwc.org/Library/Animals_FawnHelp.pdf
