Animal Supplies

Have you ever wondered what animal supplies are needed to care for each of the different species on Cottontail Acres and Save a Soul Animal Rescue?

All of the animals need different supplies to keep them happy, healthy, and safe. When we get a new species, there’s usually a lot of up-front costs involved. Once we get the habitat set up and the first aid kit assembled, usually the only ongoing costs are for veterinary care, food, and the replacement of the things that get used up, worn out, or broken.

Below you’ll find lists of animal supplies, first aid supplies, and miscellaneous things we use and recommend for the animals.

It’s always better to shop locally. I’m including links from Amazon to give you an idea of what to look for at the store. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases to help pay for the animals’ care.

Here’s a list of the supplies that are needed for each species we have. We’re always coming up with new ways to care for the animals, so I’ll update the list if we change some of the supplies we use, or if I forgot to include something.
