Wildlife Care Association

Yes that is the correct address. It is open from 10AM–6PM. You can also call the hotline at 916-965-9453 for more information. If you leave a message, someone will call you back.

They took my baby possum that was abandond. They were awesome! I picked him up he did not bite...use gloves and put him in a box.

It depends on his age, but they have volunteer positions at Wildlife care. Check them out. I am quite sure he will find something that interests him. Below is information from their website. "Please note that volunteers under 18 are not permitted to handle the animals in WCA's care. Volunteers under 16 are not permitted to work at the facility, but there may be opportunities for those under 16 to volunteer from home." https://wildlifecareassociation.com/how-you-can-help/volunteer/ If he is is at least 14 y/o you can check out Effie Yeaw Nature center in Carmichael. https://www.sacnaturecenter.net/support/volunteer/ Again, depending on his age, the Sacramento zoo is also looking for volunteers. https://www.saczoo.org/support/volunteer/ The last thing I can think of is UCDavis, they have volunteer and internship positions. Contacting local veterinary clinics or hospitals might also give him an opportunity as well. Good luck to the both of you! You are quite welcome!

Even when injured, adult squirrels can be very feisty. If you are unable to capture him safely by yourself, you can call your local animal control and they will be able to transport the animal to the facility. Best of luck.

Have you called them? I'm not sure what their hours are but I know they're open every day except Christmas and New year's.

Yes

When I went there I saw love and caring staff.

No, you should contact either animal control or SPCA

Agreed. WCA’s vets and medical specialists are trained and experienced with wild animals while most vets have little or no experience with wild animals.

We will be glad to take a look at the pigeon. It needs to be able to fly in order to survive. Our staff is trained to evaluate why it can't fly. WCA 5211 Patrol Rd, McClellan CA our hours are 10am to 6pm every day. Thanks for caring about wildlife

Please call WCA's hotline at 916-965-9453 (965-wild) or bring the bird to 5211 Patrol Road in McClellan off Hwy 80 at Winters. Feathers do grow back, but it can take time.

Take it to the above address. They are open at 10 am to 6 PM.

Yes we would, but fortunately for Sacramento the nearest fire is 60 miles away. There is an effort to run by the UC Davis Vet Medical School to treat burned animals and then send them to centers like ours for continued care. We have not seen any animals from them as yet. We do take in 6000 animals a year on average and we are the second largest facility in California. We take in all animals in need and either transfer them to the best organization for their needs or treat them ourselves. At any given time during Spring and Summer, we care for hundreds of animals. It is fortunate that many animals are very mobile. Those that can, race away from fires and then return very soon later. Thank you for asking and thank you for your interest. G Stewart Treasurer

They probably aren't open now. Put the bird in a box with a towel and lid and let him quietly rest until morning. No peaking to any little children as it can upset the bird and he's already stressed. Call them or go in when they open with the bird. PLEASE go out and get the bird. Sounds like he's hungry but it's advisable not to feed him.

The wild life center can help. They will rehab and place back on the wild again.

They are excellent and are a no kill facility. I took 8 baby opossum after the mother died.

Here's a link to the Wildlife Care Association (WCA) with information on volunteering: https://wildlifecareassociation.com/how-you-can-help/volunteer/

Yes!

The link gave you the address and phone #. Call and find out if they take the baby mice. Good luck !!

Check with Sulpher Creek Nature Center in Hayward, Ca

They can walk. It takes about 2-3 months before they can fly.

Yes, please, take it to the center they are very helpful there. If you can, call them first so they know you are coming.

Call animal control. They will transport the Elk or give you further instructions on what to do. If the Elk does appear sick they may bring it to us or another appropriate rescue organization.

You can take it to wildlife care Association at 5211 Patrol rd on the old McClellan airforce base.

I would call our hotline to make sure. 916-965-Wild. But generally, as long as it's not a domestic pet and is wildlife we can help.

I really don"t know. Maybe contact a veterenarian?

Have tou seen him fly at all? If not and you can catch him, bring him to wca for a check. We are open 7 days a week, 10-6.

No. Unfortunately, we only take wildlife. Pet ducks can go to the SPCA.

No,,we can only take wildlife. Cats and kittens are domestic.

When my son was younger, I was considering this too, but he chose something else. From what I can tell, you have to be 18 or over to handle the wildlife for legal reasons but they have side stuff for 16 year and up children. But who knows if that's current. Probably safest to just call.

I took a premature wild bird in the morning there because he was not able to fly or walk on his own (may be fell from the nest) they looked at it and said he's fine just leave him back where you found him. Guess what he died that afternoon! My thought after he died; they should have kept him under their suprivison and nourished him until he's able to fly on his own. Feeling sorry fir the little bird :(

It will not survive on its own. It needs to be in a safe place(box) with clothes because they need to be able to be very warm to survive. Mine drink water. Now I'm looking for rescue...?

Yes, keep the bird in a ventilated box with a towel inside. Keepbthe box in a dark quiet place to minimize stress. The facility opens at 10am.

Definately not. Wilelife only

No. Call animal control for information.

Wildlife only.
