Quick answers

Before you pick up wildlife

A few simple steps can prevent stress and injury—for you and the animal.

Get help

Usually, no. Many animals can aspirate or become ill. Keep them warm, dark, and quiet and follow our guidance.

We are by appointment only (not a walk-in facility). Intake guidance is available Monday–Sunday, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, April through September.

We specialize in eligible prey species and Virginia opossums. Visit the Get Help page for the most up-to-date intake guidance.

If you’re unsure, take a photo from a safe distance and contact us. We’ll help you determine whether intervention is needed.

If you or the animal are in immediate danger, contact local authorities first. Otherwise, start with our Get Help steps and reach out as soon as you can.
