The Coats for Cubs fur drive encouraged the donation of unwanted fur items to aid in the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned animals. All furs donated through the drive were distributed to wildlife rehabilitators across the US, who used them as bedding to provide comfort and improve recovery times for orphaned and injured wildlife.

Buy-sell-trade fashion retailer Buffalo Exchange started participating in the Coats for Cubs fur drive in 2006 and took over its facilitation fully in 2012. Over 14 years, with the help of their customers, they collected more than 17,202 furs. This program is no longer running. If you’d like to donate furs, however, we encourage you to ship them directly to a wildlife rehabilitator.
