Our patients
Featured patients
We care for and house wildlife for release – animals recovering after injury or sickness. When our patients are healthy again, they get a second chance of life in freedom. No permanent wild residents. To protect hospitalized animals from stress while recovering, we do not allow visits by the public.
However, we’re working on establishing “live stream” wildlife cameras on-site.
Stay tuned to see how our patients are doing in “realtime”…
In the meantime see here who was housed at our facility in 2023.
