I volunteered here in high school and have dropped off many patients over the years. They do such important work here and I’m thankful to see some of their success stories on social media!

Beware or this place. I have dropped off 3 animals and everytime they are euthanized. If you bring in a sick or wounded animal they wont nurse it back to health. They just kill it. Pretty sad today. The woman there dont act like pure animal lovers. Please find another place to take the precious animals. They get a ton of money from donations and possibly money from the state for "rabies scares". They never rehabilitate a raccoon. DON'T BRING RACCOONS HERE. I REPEAT DON'T BRING RACCOONS HERE PERIOD. Sure death for a raccoon.

I called the number on the website, had to leave a message and a phone number, about 40 minutes later I think it was I got a phone call from the animal hospital, they verify that it was me that called, we exchanged information and instructions and address, we came to the drop off area, put in the new patient, a baby bird that had fallen out of it's nest, very friendly baby bird by the way, informed the hospital of the drop off and they we're very happy.

We are so lucky to have this nonprofit wildlife hospital in our area. They care greatly for animals. Hopefully they'll help this little guy out and send him on his way

Do you have any use for used, clean mascara wands. I know some wildlife hospitals use them to clean the feathers of wildlife. I live in Cocoa, and can drop them by, if you can use them.

Thank you so much for asking. We do not use mascara wands. I've seen that at other facilities as well but we don't really have a need.

Stay away from these people. They are horrible to there volunteers. They treat them like there paid employees. I was in college and need volunteer work and it was cold out side in the 50s and I went out side to clean cages then came back in to warm up and the lady was like what are you doing get back outside and clean the cages. I just walked out.

Hello, I work nights, it's now 1:30 AM, Saturday morning. And I just found a baby rabbit that a cat had caught. I can only see one injury by his eye. I have him in a box in the dark so he will stay calm. Can I bring him to you in the morning?

lisa b. | Aug 30, 2021
Courtney Gerspacher | Aug 30, 2021

They have drop off boxes available on site for after hours patients that a video monitored to alert then when animals are dropped off. You can also bring the baby to them in the morning but at this time they are still only accepting patients through the drop off boxes to limit contact between staff and the public because of Covid. But again they are video monitored so the get alerts to let them know when something is dropped off. As soon as they are able to the go to get the animal from the boxes.

If you haven't been vaccinated for rabies don't try to catch him. Call your city or county animal control office.

I wrote yesterday about a young vulture maybe injured, it seems to be trying to fly but does not come to far off the ground. It was able to get into a tree last nite. How long does it usually take for young ones to learn to fly

Theresa Hores | Aug 31, 2019
Florida Wildlife Hospital, Inc | Aug 31, 2019

(sorry for the delay. I could not view this from my phone) It should just take a few days. If you still see him struggling, you can bring him in and we can check to see if he is injured.

If he is still around and struggling, you can bring him in and we can look him over. If all seems fine, he can just go back where you found him. Thanks!
