Intake Form

If you’re unsure how to assess the situation or what to do next, simply complete the appropriate intake form. A member of our team will reach out to guide you. Good photos are crucial* to assess the species, age, or injury and help to get them in the correct hands as quickly as possible.

Before you submit an Intake Form, please read this article:
How to know if a wild animal needs help

Too many wild babies are accidentally taken from their parents by humans who misinterpreted the situation.

We do not have a phone number. If you found one online somewhere, it is old information that we are unable to remove. The forms linked below are the correct way to get in touch with us regarding an animal that may need help.

We are entirely volunteer run and unfortunately are not available 24 hours a day. We will do the best we can to respond promptly.

While you are waiting for our response please:
Do not offer food or water
Keep the animal somewhere warm, dark, and quiet​
