Wildlife

Our Philosophy of Rehabilitation

Rescue * Rehabilitate * Release * Re-educate

We firmly believe that all indigenous wildlife should be returned to their natural habitat whenever possible. We also believe that education is the key to preserving our wildlife and their habitats. If you have found an injured or orphaned wild animal or bird you can call the clinic for instructions on handling and bringing the animal to the clinic. Educational discussions are available to your civic group or classroom.

Spring and fall months bring an over abundance of orphaned baby animals and birds to the clinic for rehabilitation. We receive an average of 10-20 calls per day requesting information about wildlife.

CEVC will accept all indigenous wildlife for rehabilitation with the exception of potential rabies vectors and poisonous snakes.

If we are unable to rehabilitate the animal at CEVC then we have the resources to find an experienced rehabilitator who is able to do the job. We also have the facilities to treat and manage illness or injury and to isolate the animal from other animals if necessary.
