Wildlife Rehabilitators
If you find an injured or sick animal, you may call a local rehabilitator for advice. Rehabilitators often specialize in one or a few species. If you're not sure what type of animal you're calling about, check the animal categories listed below. Make sure the type of animal you're calling about matches the rehabilitator's specialty.
Never leave an injured or sick animal at a rehabilitation center without calling first!
