If the animal is in immediate danger, follow these basic instructions:
You dont need to offer them anything. If their mouth is injured or if they are consussed, they could choke.
Its very easy to accidentaly force water into an injured or unconscious animal's lungs.
A dark box or an animal carrier in a dark bathroom will help them relax.
Loud noises and human voices can be stressful.
Wild for Life is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization specializing in the rehabilitation of native wildlife. We are funded solely by public donations, receiving no federal or state funding and are run strictly by volunteers. While our primary mission is to facilitate the protection, conservation, and preservation of local ecosystems through wildlife rehabilitation, we also recognize the innate importance that public education has for the growth and longevity of this mission.
Wild for Life provides exceptional and compassionate care for animals in need of help with the goal to release these animals back to their native wild habitat.
Wild for Life exists because of the need: the need of the animals, the need of the environment, and the need of the human community. Every individual wild animal deserves the right to complete its place in the circle of life. The vast majority of animals that come to us for rehabilitation have had some kind of negative interactions with humans (i.e. habitat destruction, hit by a car, caught by a pet, gunshot, wrapped in barbed wire, hit by a lawnmower, flown into a window, etc.).
