Every Creature Matters

We believe every creature has a place in the world. We love the opossum and help other furry and feathered friends along the way!

Opossum Nation began with a documentary about opossums. Today, our mission is to produce short animal documentaries and to support wildlife rehab, both our own and other facilities that need a hand.

We're starting in Tepoztlรกn, Mexico, where we'll help a rehab facility with its setup and upgrades and make a short documentary about the work.

Your support helps in two ways:

  • Making the films: room and board for our traveling crew, hiring locals when we travel, and shooting supplies.
  • Helping the animals: supplies, structures, incubators, climate control, and enclosures for the facilities we work with, plus supplies for our own local rehab and the non-releasable animals in our care.

We also have an Amazon wishlist. When we get a lot of something, we can share it with other rehabbers in need. Our dream is to deliver care packages in person and share those visits with animal and wildlife advocates, because all creatures matter.

Let's work together to help these wonderful animals! ๐Ÿพ
