Welcome to the Online Donations Link for Crestwood Animal Shelter

One of our volunteers, Charlie F, is offering an Eastern Bluebird Nestbox in appreciation for your donation to Crestwood Animal Shelter (CAS) of $50 or more. The Eastern Bluebird is the Missouri state bird.  

The adjacent photos show a beautiful female (with nesting material) and a handsome male setting up home in Charlie’s backyard in Crestwood this past spring. Numerous owners of these nestboxes have reported success in attracting nesting pairs.

The Eastern Bluebird nestbox is built according to the field-tested, time-proven Gilwood Nestbox design featured at this link (http://nestboxbuilder.com/nestbox-article-gilwood.html).  Each bluebird nestbox comes with a long-lasting PVC roof, 5-foot mounting pole and 3-foot iron rebar stake for easy mounting.  See the photo gallery below. The ideal location for a bluebird nestbox is to face eastward into an open area.

This offering is strictly for Crestwood Animal Shelter (CAS) fund raising purposes and is intended for educational and not-for-profit use. All materials and labor are donated by Charlie F. Your funds donated to CAS go entirely (100%) to animal care and feeding, including veterinary costs. 

Neither CAS nor Charlie F. assume explicit or implied warranty or liability for the installation or use of the nestbox. 

The nestboxes are available by local delivery or pick-up in the St. Louis area. No shipping is available.

Supplies may be limited depending on demand. Please complete our Nestbox Form located here today to arrange details for your order for one or more nestboxes for an agreed delivery date. A small inventory of built boxes is usually on hand for immediate delivery.
