Welcome to Valley Wildlife Care.
We are a non-profit, volunteer organization serving the San Fernando Valley and surrounding areas. We are dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating native wildlife species and releasing them back into their natural environment.
Wildlife need rescue for a multitude of reasons, both natural and human caused. They can be hit by cars, fall out of nests, or be injured by other animals, to name a few. Some of the most common dangers that we see affecting our native species are:
- cars
- power lines
- building structures and windows
- primary and secondary poisoning
- gunshots
- pesticides
- disease/illness
- tree trimming (except October through December)
At Valley Wildlife Care, we are licensed, trained and experienced in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. We work closely with veterinarians to give the best emergency and ongoing care for every animal, with the ultimate goal of release back into the wild.
Spring and summer are an extremely busy time of year for us, so e-mail might be the fastest way to reach us. If you have found an injured or orphaned bird or mammal, keep it in a warm, dark and quiet place and DO NOT attempt to give food and water.
If you find an injured or orphaned animal, call
