Wildlife Rehabilitation
Our shelter manager Kaleb is licensed to rehabilitate small mammals. If you think you have found orphaned or injured wildlife, feel free to give us a call and we can evaluate if the animal is actually in need of rescue - most are not! Please do not attempt to feed the animal or force it to drink water, as wild critters are easily killed by people with the best intentions. It is particularly helpful if you can send photos of the animal in question. *Please note that we do not rehabilitate birds of any kind. Refer to the NC Wildlife website to find a species appropriate rehabber.
Wildlife rehabilitation is a time consuming volunteer job and often the supplies needed for various species can be very expensive. While we cannot take on every case we are consulted about, we will do our best to refer you to someone else who may be able to help.
While not required, if we are able to accept wildlife for rehabilitation, we would appreciate a donation as once again, special formulas, habitat requirements, and specialized veterinary care can become quite costly.
Please note: NC wildlife laws prohibit rehabilitation of rabies vector species. This includes: raccoons, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, etc.
