HEDGEHOGS SEEKING A HOME<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Adopt a hedgehog and help support their journey back to the wild.<\/p>\n

At Nova Hedgehogs, every hedgehog in our care has its own story. Some arrive injured, some are underweight, and others are orphaned and need round-the-clock support. By adopting one of our hedgehogs, you are helping to fund the food, shelter, veterinary care and rehabilitation they need to recover safely.<\/p>\n

Your adoption helps us continue our rescue work while giving you the chance to follow the progress of a hedgehog in our care. Each hedgehog has their own name, personality and little facts, so you can learn more about them and the important work that goes into helping them return to the wild.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”200px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1783419978148{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”5695″ img_size=”FULL” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″]
