Humboldt Wildlife Care Center

Serving the northwest corner of California

Over 1200 injured wild animals per year are treated directly, and we address many more situations over the phone.

Whether a Hummingbird who’s collided with a window, a Raccoon hit by a car, or a Barn Owl poisoned by rodenticide, most of the cases we treat are the result of unfortunate interactions with human activity or infrastructure.

Caring community members who support this work with donations, make it possible. You can help save lives:  Donate Now

What is wildlife rehabilitation?

Wildlife rehabilitation: giving injured and orphaned wild animals a second chance, returning them to the wild after appropriate treatment.

Rehabilitators use protocols, research, and veterinary consultation, as well as respectful empathy with wild animals.

Wildlife rehabilitation is regulated by state and federal agencies, and by the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association Code of Ethics.

Humboldt Wildlife Care Center is a project of Bird Ally X, permitted to rehabilitate wildlife by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
