Wildlife

injured, orphaned, and sick wild animals

In many instances, young wildlife that appears to be orphaned may in fact be just fine, but if you intervene and remove the animal from its habitat, it may never be reunited with its mother
It’s common for baby mammals, including bunnies, deer and fledgling birds, to be left alone for long periods, or for a mother to be nearby but out of sight; if you see these babies in the wild, it’s usually best to leave them be
If you see a wild animal that appears to be injured, sick or orphaned, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator who can help you determine if the animal is in need of help or not
