Wildlife Rehabilitation Disclaimer
This website provides educational resources intended exclusively for licensed wildlife rehabbers and those working under their supervision. The information presented here is not meant to enable or encourage members of the public to attempt wildlife care on their own.
Legal Requirements
In most states and jurisdictions, it is illegal to keep, handle, or rehabilitate wildlife without proper permits. Wildlife rehabilitation requires state and/or federal licenses, and caring for wildlife without these permits can result in fines, criminal charges, and harm to the animals. Always verify your local and state regulations before handling any wildlife.
Contact Professional Help
If you have found injured or orphaned wildlife, do not attempt care yourself. Instead, immediately contact a licensed wildlife rehabbers, veterinarian experienced with wildlife, or your state wildlife agency. Quick professional intervention dramatically improves survival rates and ensures appropriate care.
Information Accuracy
While we strive to provide accurate, up-to-date information based on established rehabilitation practices, protocols vary by region, species, and individual circumstances. This information should never replace professional veterinary advice, hands-on training, or consultation with experienced rehabbers. Wildlife medicine constantly evolves, and what works for one animal may be harmful to another.
