A woman in Canada has taken an original approach to helping animals wherever she can.
Katie Deline-Ray makes knitted nests for injured and abandoned baby animals. These handmade creations become temporary homes for these wildlife babies.
Deline-Ray, who lives in Ontario, came up with the idea one day when she came across a woman online who made nests for wildlife groups in the U.S.
“I thought it was such a wonderful and kind idea and went searching to see whether there was anything like it set up for our wildlife rescues in Canada,” Deline-Ray told the Huffington Post.
From there she started contacting wildlife groups in Canada to find out if they were interested in the idea.
Today Deline-Ray sends her adorable nests for free to animal rescue groups not only in Canada, but across the world including Australia, the U.K., Ireland and the U.S. All she asks in return are some photos of her knitted nests being used by the animals.
On her Facebook page called Wildlife Rescue Nests, she shares those cute photos of baby birds and small mammals resting in her crocheted nests.

“It makes me incredible happy to have a hobby that can help in some small way with all the great work these rescue centers do,” Deline-Ray posted on her Facebook page. On her website she encourages all the knitters and crocheters in the world to get involved. She provides detailed instructions on how to make one of these creative homes.
To this day there are over 60 wildlife rescue groups registered on her website from all over the world.
