The ACC is looking for escorts for 4 kittens to Boston in the near future. Most airlines allow 2 kittens per carrier, but some only 1 per. Ideally we are hoping to find at least two escorts on the same flight so they can all travel at once.

If you are flying to Boston (Logan) and can potentially help transport kittens to new homes please email us at [email protected] or PM our page.

There is no cost on your end, and we provided everything needs for the to travel.

UPDATE: We reached out the National Park rangers and one of them took a walk around the area the next day. Luckily, he didn't see any young goats in distress. Thank you all for your responses!

Anyone headed to Waterlemon today? We had a report of a potentially injured black baby goat at Watermelon Bay on the right side of the unmarked trail to the lower estate Leinster Bay Ruins. We would love to have photos and new location if possible. It may be trapped under a tree. Please call us at 340 643-9453 (wild).

On World Donkey Day, we’re celebrating St. John’s most iconic residents.

This weekend, our volunteers will be out de‑worming the island’s donkeys — an essential part of keeping the herd healthy and preventing parasite‑related illness.

You can help by:
• Giving donkeys space on the road
• Never feeding them
• Not stopping on the road to pet or take photos

Together, we keep the herd safe.

Every day, our volunteers respond to calls, provide care, and help our island’s wildlife stay safe — but kindness starts with simple choices we all make.

This week, we invite our community to:
• Give wildlife space
• Keep pets supervised and collared
• Provide water for wildlife during dry spells
• Avoid feeding donkeys and other wild animals
• Call our hotline if you see an animal in distress
