Most of our wild animal patients have been adversely affected by human activities. They have been hit by a car, poisoned by pesticides, entangled in fishing line or garden netting, or attacked by pets. Many are hurt or trapped in carelessly discarded trash. Sick, injured and orphaned animals require immediate professional attention. Call SCWC for specific help with an injured or orphaned wild animal. After hours, please contact your local animal shelter.

Note: Please do not leave animals/birds at our door when we are not there. The most important thing for a baby or sick animal is to be kept warm and not exposed to the elements. Often, we arrive at the Center to find animals left in boxes at our door which have died.
