Patient Profiles

Every day new patients arrive at our facility. We see over 3,000 patients annually. Over 135 different species come to us for care. In an effort to tell their stories of survival and highlight the diverse number of species that we rehabilitate, we try to share some of their stories here. You can also see posts on our social media pages.

Orphaned Cottontails

Our baby mammal nursery is getting busy. Two of these survived a dog attack and one was the lone survivor after an encounter with a lawn mower. Wild rabbits and some species of birds make their nests in tall grass. Check your lawn before mowing for the first time this season. You will see depressions in the grass that look like brown patches mixed with fur. Cover the area with a basket or bucket to safely avoid injuring the babies. Then remove it, so mom will return. Always call us for advice and never attempt to feed any wildlife yourself. We can easily rehydrate patients, but getting them over respiration pneumonia is difficult. Status: Released
