🐦 Important Update About Parakeet Surrenders 🐦

The need for parakeet rescue continues to grow.

So far this year, J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue has taken in more than 100 parakeets. Thanks to our amazing supporters, many have found new homes, but our rescue center has reached capacity for these little birds.

Because of this, we are no longer accepting routine parakeet surrenders at our Neenah Rescue Center.

We will continue to consider emergency situations on a case-by-case basis, and we will still accept parakeets at our award-winning Exotic Pet Surrender Events held throughout Wisconsin.

If you have a parakeet you can no longer care for, we encourage you to first contact:

🐦 The place where you originally got the bird
🏡 Your local humane society
🤝 Another reputable rescue from our rescue network:
https://www.jraar.org/rescuenetwork

We know this news may be disappointing, but setting intake limits allows us to continue providing quality care for the birds already in our rescue while remaining available for emergency cases.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us continue to care for Wisconsin's exotic pets.

💚 Rescue, Rehab, Rehome.

🐍💚 Cora the Ball Python 💚🐍



Cora came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on 5/9/26 during the Exotic Pet Surrender Event in Kewaunee after their owner, who originally got them from an expo, could no longer care for them. Now Cora is looking for a forever home where they can enjoy a safe, stable life.

At about 2 years old, Cora is still a young Ball Python with many years ahead. They are eating small frozen/thawed rats consistently and are doing well in our care. Ball Pythons are known for their calm personalities and are one of the most popular pet snakes because they are generally gentle and easy to handle.


🟢 Quick Care Tips:
• Adult size: 3–5 feet
• Lifespan: 30+ years
• Enclosure: At least a 4' x 2' x 2' enclosure
• Warm side: 86–90°F
• Cool side: 72–80°F
• Humidity: 45–75%
• Diet: Frozen/thawed rodents every 10–14 days


With proper heat, humidity, and secure hiding places, Ball Pythons can thrive for decades. If you're ready for a long-term reptile companion, Cora may be the perfect match for your family. 💚
