ABSTRACT:
A rescue device for oil-soaked birds or other creatures including a sanctuary formed by surrounding walls, a lower floor, and an upper floor above the lower floor having apertures for oil to pass therethrough. The upper floor is attached to the interior of the surrounding walls to form a platform for the oil-soaked animal. The upper floor and lower floor together define a drainage space within which excess oil from the animal can drain. The surrounding walls are inflatable, and the device includes a pressurized gas cartridge having a detonator valve for instantly inflating the walls. The device is hexagonally shaped and includes D-rings attached to exterior surfaces to allow a number of the devices to be hooked together to form a floating island of individual sanctuaries. Interior baffles within the surrounding walls help maintain the hexagonal shape of the device. A number of the devices can be connected together to form a floating island of multiple sanctuaries. The floating island can be overturned and to provide a floating platform for larger animals.
