Found a baby bird fallen from nest in backyard and was unable to re-nest it. After a few hours of monitoring the makeshift nest and no sign of mother bird, I decided it was time to take this little fellow in. This place is very kind and reassured me he was in great hands and once ready to be released into the wild, he would be released close to where he was originally found. They also were able to identify what type of bird he was in seconds (mourning dove!). The woman at the front counter was extremely kind and thankful that I brought the cutie in. Thank you for taking care of the wild! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I was on the way to get pedis with my friend around 10:00 am and saw a very large opossum tossing and turning on the side of the busy roadway. I turned around and located a very large male opossum who had been hit by a car and left with severe facial injuries. Due to him suffering I was at a loss for how to help him. I looked up wildlife care facilities and up came across wildlife care association. I am so grateful they are open 7 days a week. I drove him to the location and the front counter lady was so sweet and took him without questioning. I just had to fill out a form. She gave him pain meds and advised they will find the best outcome for him from there. I am so grateful this was available to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. read more

Wonderful place to take injured birds too! What a community and wildlife service. I called for information then took an injured bird in and they assisted quickly and without and strings. read more

This little guy crashed into our window while trying to escape a falcon and injured its wing. This was the closest rescue nearby, so we brought it in. Coincidently, they had just taken in another fledgling from the same area -- and they're planning to keep them together while they recover which was great to know. Overall, we had a great and quick experience with them taking him in. If you ever come across an animal in need, do check this place out. read more

I've taken a scrub jay baby here a couple Spring's ago, but most recently we've had some river otters in the local creek who have been doing fairly well because it's connected to a nature preserve. We noticed one of them was acting abnormal as if it was drunk or got into something bad. My husband was able to catch him and get him to the Wildlife Care Association. They're always so nice and helpful in circumstances like these, it can be confusing and a bit scary on what to do when an animal is sick. read more

So Sunday before last I saw some kids in my complex poking at something on the ground. I went out to see what it was thinking big bug maybe, to my shock it was a teenie weenie little bird with a long beak. I knelt down and gently touched it thinking it was dead. It had clearly fallen out of the nest about 20 feet up. It moved and let out a loud peep. So I gently picked it up and brought it in the house I wasn't about to let one of the complexes outside cats eat it. Screw the circle of life today. We gently boxed him up after making a makeshift t-shirt nest. Then we checked and saw the Wildlife care association was open til 6 and drove over. When we arrived you could see a great number of cars. Thank goodness they have a lot of volunteers. Upon entry the woman behind the counter smiled and said she'd be right with me after she finished up with the guy she was helping. Once done she beckoned me over asking what I had. She exclaimed oh my! When she saw the little bird. She was incredibly knowledgeable and knew immediately it was a Male hummingbird. I was extremely worried the little guy wasn't going to make it, but she said he looked strong and healthy but his wing was damaged pretty bad. She also assured me there was a place in Auburn that specializes in small birds. The entire staff were excited to see the little one and I knew he was hopefully going to be ok. I seriously needed a win after the slew of things that have happened over the last year. It was a little hard to get to the place only because one of the main roads was now closed. I've brought in a couple of birds to this place and Every time they have been grateful to me for bringing in the animals and not leaving them to die. These people are amazing at what they do and I urge you to donate if at all possible to help them out. read more

We may be living in some dark times, but here's a story that hopefully has a silver lining. After our cat injured a baby squirrel in our backyard, we didn't know what to do. I'm a softie for animals and I hate to see one suffer. This little guy was barely moving, disoriented and had labored breathing. With seemingly nowhere to turn, a quick search on Yelp brought me to our saviors: the Wildlife Care Association. This is a volunteer-run non-profit specializing in the care of sick or injured wild animals (no domesticated pets allowed). You have to transport the animal to them yourself, so I took an old cat carrier and gently nudged our injured friend inside. They are located in the North Highlands area near McClellan airfield - not the most convenient place to get to - but it was still only a 20 minute drive from downtown. Once there, I filled out an intake form and wished our the little guy well. I felt comforted because the gal there said that if he does well, he will be returned to our area within just a couple square miles, where he will eventually find his way back to his family. They could not, however, provide me with a future update on his status because, as she said, they get over 600 squirrels a year and it would be too difficult keeping track. They have my phone number on the same intake form that includes the rescue address, so I don't follow the logic there, but I think the gist was they are slightly overwhelmed. It's a great cause and resource for those that come across wildlife and want to help. Consider donating to help them continue this service. read more

This place was amazing :) It offered excellent service, the staff were really kind and helping. I went there to drop off a wild squirre, both its hind legs were possibly broken because it fell from a palm tree, got scared and ran like a madman when my dog was chasing after it, and was possibly bitten by him. read more

Wildlife Care Association came in clutch for me! I have taken many animals here in the past. Several small birds, small mammals and even baby opossums. That being said, I have never had an experience like this. On Dec. 6th my daughter and I were on our way home and decided to pick up dinner. Pulling into the parking lot at Mack rd. and Valley Hi, we spotted something jumping in front of the lit window of the establishment we were ordering from. As I pulled up I shined my bright lights on it and saw that it was a young hawk. It's wing was obviously broken, splayed across its back. We knew we couldn't leave it. After approximately an hour or so, we had caught it. Short 1 meal and an extra passenger we headed home. I immediately called WCA and left a voicemail. We put our new buddy into a large dog carrier for the night and waited. First thing in the morning I received a call from Virginia. I explained the situation and we discussed next steps. I let them know I had a couple of meetings that day and driving him/her there would be a challenge. She immediately contacted volunteers in my area whom had experience with falcons and shortly thereafter I received a call from Chris. She offered to pick wee bit up at my home that morning. Chris was even able to transfer from my carrier to her own which was definitely a win in my book. Wildlife Care Association is a nonprofit and need volunteers and donations. I will be donating my time and spare change as I have definitely relied on their services!! read more

Don't care much for people but love animals. These people were there to care for a baby opossum I found in this horrible heat. Bless these people and the wonderful work they do. I made a small donation on line and I urge anyone that loves animals to do the same. R. R 9/7/2022 read more

I found a baby squirrel yesterday near the American River. The little one fell nearly 30 ft from a tree, we waited around a while for the mom to retrieve the baby, but no such luck. We took him in for the night with a heating pad. Very hearty baby and did well through the night. I brought him to the wildlife care association the next day, after first trying CAPE at UC Davis (don't take wildlife orphaned wildlife apparently). Very nice staff, took him in and I donated all that I had with me! Absolutely no pressure either which made me even happier to give them what I could! I will update any thing I find out about "Ralphie." Planning on calling them in a week to check up on him! Will update later. 9-13-13 Not sure what happened to poor little Ralphie. I called and messaged them a few times about "adopting him" aka donating further to his cause, but I couldn't get anyone to respond. Here's hoping that he survived! read more

Found a not-quite-fledgling bird downtown today laying on its back 6" from the road and unable to get up. A quick Google search revealed this facility. I always try to do what I can to help injured or orphaned wildlife but usually it's a hassle. Oh, we don't take X species. We're only open 2 hours a day. Our Y species handler is out of the country for 6 months. Passed from establishment to establishment to temporally or locally inaccessible "resources" for hours and sometimes days. Called this number. Great. "Message line". Here we go again. Wait.... she said what? Just..... bring the bird? Like pick it up and bring it there? Walk in the door and be like "Found a bird, yo". Really? I doubt it's that easy. Well it was that easy. We were greeted immediately and someone already had a box ready. They gave the bird a quick look and came back out and told me they would keep and treat it. They thanked me profusely for bringing it, took a little information, and that was that. So unlike all the other wildlife rehab experiences I've had, but in the best possible way. read more

Over the past week I've had the unfortunate experience of a trying to rescue a series of baby birds that have fallen through the bottom of a poorly constructed nest. The first one I found was alive and weakly crying/peeping; I found his brother a short distance away but he had already perished. I googled what to do for a fallen baby bird and came upon the Wildlife Care Association. Per this organization's website they recommend trying to place the animal back in the nest or leaving it in a bowl near the nest. Unfortunately this bird's nest was falling apart and was located in such a place that I couldn't place him in a bowl near his home. Aside from that I also have cats and dogs that were taking a bit of interest in him. So I decided the best option for keeping this little guy alive was to drive him to the Wildlife Care Association. It ended up being over a 45 minute drive for me, way out in the middle of no where. I felt rather excited and hope-full about rescuing this little guy. However I was shocked by my experience one I got to the center. There was a young kid at the front desk who took the baby into the back. A few moments later a woman came out. She was rude and condescending, telling me that I should've just put the bird back. When I tried to explain she cut me off and replied "Oh, I see, you don't want to be responsible for the bird" and walked into the back room. I was shocked and deflated. As a medical professional and animal volunteer at the Marine Mammal Center, I understand the need to educate the public regarding best practices. However I also believe in being kind, professional and welcoming to the public, especially to those who have positive intent to help animals. It is really unfortunate that this woman felt the need to react this way. Based on my encounter, I would not bring animals here in the future. read more

I'm grateful that this facility is in place and for the caring work done by the volunteers. I recently had to drop off a week or so old jack rabbit who's habitat was destroyed. The woman at the front desk was kind and paid attention to detail about the care of Houdini (He was an escape artist:)) I felt very comfortable dropping him off there. If you can donate to this facility. . . It doesn't even have to be much they are grateful for whatever you can give. read more

Am so grateful that all these volunteers give their precious time to help out people like me so we can try to do the right thing when nature goes wrong! They have given me important instruction for baby squirrels (still pink) whose nest was downed by tree trimmer! They said to lay them at base of tree after the commotion and the mom will come get them! She did! A happy ending... although I really don't need two more squirrels in my yard eating my tomatoes and cherries! Oops! Also received good instruction for different baby birds downed out of nest too! They say to try and put them back in nest, but voiced other options depending on situation! Thank you! Thank you! read more

It's so wonderful to know this kind of facility is near by. I was leaving a friend's house early in the morning and noticed a little sparrow bird sitting on the sidewalk. He didn't flinch when I walked by so I got closer and realized the little baby's eyes were swollen shut. I grabbed a towel from my car and picked the little guy up and took him home. I knew I couldn't help him so I called around and someone from the Western Feed Store told me to take the bird here. I called first and left a message. I didn't want to wait for a call back so I decided to take my chances driving the little guy up there. They took him in and said they'll do what they can and when he's better, they'll release him where I found him. God bless their souls! PLEASE leave any donation you can. We need places like this around. read more

This place is great, I have taken all different kinds of birds here over the years, they seem to be very knowledgeable and regardless of the shape and condition, age, type of bird I bring in, all are accepted and checked out immediately. I did read that they take small mammals also like mice, rats, but I can't help but wonder if small mammals are accepted because they use them to feed the birds? I currently have a baby rat that my stepson found in the grass we are trying to keep alive, however I am apprehensive to bring him here. So while I think they are wonderful, I might think twice about bringing potential food for birds of prey LOL. They are a little tricky to find if you are not familiar with the area, back behind McClellan in Rio Linda, down a long and baron dirt road in the middle of what appears to be nowhere. I guess it's the perfect place for a bird rehabilitation center. You can't miss it though, it's shaped like a giant golf ball! read more

Dedicated and responsive wildlife rescue organization run by volunteers. Visit their website and follow their specific instructions on what to do when you find an injured bird, mammal, or reptile. What do you do when a hawk chases four cedar waxwings into your plate glass window? You remember Amy P. talking about bird rescue on the Yelp threads and contact her for advice -- while looking up the information online. We've had birds run into our windows before, but never like this. As I was getting ready for dinner and my family's arrival, I heard four loud bangs on our backyard sliding glass door. I ran over and came face to face with a hawk, who almost slammed into the glass as well but was startled by my arrival. At first it appeared as if it was Hawk=4, Cedar Waxwings=0. The hawk flew to a nearby telephone wire to wait until I was gone. Figuring that sometimes birds may recover, I stayed and looked for signs of life while the hawk, well, watched me like a hawk. I walked away for a moment to tend to our dinner and came back to three remaining birds. A hawk's gotta eat, you know. One bird came around and looked as if it had a broken leg. Alan S. and the kids arrived, and it became our mission to help the remaining survivor. Props to hubby for retrieving the injured bird. We followed Amy P.'s advice on how to house the bird and called WCA. Even though it was dinner hour, I received a return phone call within 30 minutes from a kind volunteer who made additional calls to other volunteers who operate out of their homes. Although no one was able to respond that evening, the bird survived overnight and calls immediately came in the morning. I delivered the bird to a sweet volunteer in South Natomas who has been helping birds for ten years. The kids were happy to hear of the bird's survival and were entertained with hubby's story during breakfast that it was going to be rebuilt with bionic legs and anti-hawk missiles that would shoot out of its butt. UPDATE 4.10.08, one week later: so what happened to the birdie? I checked in with the volunteer and he was hurt pretty badly. Head injury, wing broken -- at the juncture where it attaches to his body. So badly that it punctured a lung and his body was swollen. But this guy's a fighter and is doing better daily. Prognosis is still unsure but optimistic; I'll be checking in again. UPDATE 6.4.08: Birdie survived and healed. We've rescued a duck since then and recently, a mother hummingbird has built her nest on a camellia bush outside our window. This year is for the birds. read more

The other day I saw a small baby sparrow bird smack into a glass window and fall to the ground. I checked the bird to see if she was okay and she was very scared and hopping on the floor. She was clearly injured. My coworker and I placed the sparrow in the grass to see if she could fly but she sat still and buried herself under some plants. I knew I had to take her to the Wildlife Association for some help; I've been there one other time when I brought a baby dove to their facility. My coworker got a box with some towels. We placed the bird inside the box. I left work to drive the sparrow to the Wildlife Association. Poor little thing was scared; she kept glancing at me when I drove her there; I blasted the air conditioner so she could get some fresh air. When I arrived, they immediately took her in and starting caring for her. It was obvious her wing was damaged from the impact of hitting the glass window. They were very caring and kind to the sparrow. I hope this place will stay open in the future; it's nice to know that there are facilities like this in the area. read more

Love this place! Be sure to check their website or call them for guidance if you find an animal outside of their business hours.

Me and my colleague found a humming bird on Friday May 3, 2013. I called a few care centers near Sacramento but they denied. Lastly I could found this wildlife care association and it was open too. We rushed to the center and handed over to volunteers working their. They were very nice. They replied all our queries. We asked what they will do once she (hummingbird) is cured. They said they leave them in nearby wild. Today one of my colleague found a wounded pigeon. He approached me as I've already been to the care center. we both went again and handed the pigeon to them. They are doing great job. Many many thanks to all those works there. read more

Someone brought me a mourning dove, because they knew I held state and federal permits for 15 years in Texas. I bought hand feeding formula and tube fed the baby for 2 weeks. I finally got the dove to pick up food on its own. I was finally able to take the bird into the rehab facility. When I arrived I prepared to bring a donation. I know how it feels to get birds and no donation. When I got there, some grey haired woman was short and rude. I explained someone brought me the bird so I took care of it until I could get it here. MIND YOU DOVE SEASON STARTED 9/1. The woman bitched me out for keeping the bird for 2 weeks. I explained I had held permits for 15 years. She said our rules are different here. Actually NO THEY ARE NOT DIFFERENT. I was signed up with this facility to help them out. WHAT A BONUS FOR THEM to have a permitted rehabber to help them. The woman was so rude to me, so what that I had a dove for 2weeks doing them a favor. And her first words out of her mouth was to bitch at me. I never bitched at anyone bringing me a bird. I was just happy they brought it and left a donation. Wild care needs to realize that it is DOVE SEASON, so they are being shot and killed now, me taking care of the bird 1 bird, is not a crime especially since I hold federal permits. Y'all suck how's that for a Texas rehabber. read more

Amazing organization... Wildlife Care Association is solely donation-based and all the workers are volunteers who truly seem passionate about their work. We saved 3 baby birds from my (darn) cat and brought them in-- hopefully they were able to be rehabilitated and returned to the wild. The place is a little tricky to find if you aren't familiar with the area but there are a number of signs to point you in the right direction, thankfully. Just head towards the unique golf ball looking structure.... Yes... the building really is a giant golf ball looking structure. read more

Despite my reservations regarding their reputation for quickly killing many of the creatures they receive, I nevertheless delivered a crow with a slightly injured wing to the Wildlife Care Association (WCA) on the afternoon of June 16, 2011 because I wanted it to receive care and antibiotics for its injury. This was a bird who with its mate, I had fed (I have lots of bird feeders) and enjoyed observing for years in my yard; the mate is still looking for him/her. The bird exhibited no distress, eagerly gobbled up mealworms directly from my hand throughout the day before being delivered to WCA and showed a very calm and trusting demeanor. The only visible injury was on a portion of the wing where a few feathers had been damaged. I remember thinking to myself that I sure hoped that I was doing the right thing for the bird as it looked up at me while I drove to WCA. Because I had heard bad reports about their propensity to kill, I asked the clerk upon arrival if someone could briefly look at the wing and give me their thoughts on its chances for rehabilitation. I emphasized that I did not want it euthanized and if I had the slightest thought that would happen after a cursory look, I would have taken the bird to a veterinarian for treatment. Even with a damaged wing, this bird could have easily been returned to the wilds of my yard (which I specifically requested) where it would have had a safe and familiar environment to live in. Subject to my request, I was told that a woman at WCA would give the wing a quick look. With that assurance I retrieved the bird from my car. Rather than the quick look I was promised, a rather abrupt character promptly took the bird before I could object and disappeared behind a locked door. I was then given the record number of the bird and told that I could call regarding the birds condition. Barely an hour later, I spoke to someone from WCA who informed me that the bird had this terrible compound fracture and that it had been humanely killed. I felt sick to my stomach thinking that this tame, trusting and otherwise healthy bird with only a small area of missing feathers and no visible compound fracture was summarily killed without any chance for me to give it the further care I was willing to provide. I am certain that the veterinarian dismissed this bird as just another crow with an injury that probably didn't warrant any extra effort to care for. Of course it was much more than that for us and we would have been delighted to observe it in our yard again where it could have continued to live, well fed and safe. I'm going to resent my decision to deliver this hapless bird to WCA for a long time. Most people are too callous to make an extra effort on behalf of anything and would dismiss concern for a mere bird as maudlin. However, I emphasized that I was willing to do whatever it took to help this slightly injured and friendly bird; nevertheless, WCA made the slipshod, immediate and cavalier decision to kill. I have learned from others that , when pressed, they regularly retreat into the sophistry that the law requires them to euthanize any animal that cannot be returned to the wild, subject to their unspecified, arbitrary and ad hoc determinations. Anybody can allege anything and to claim that the bird I delivered had a traumatic compound injury to its wing is nonsense, there was no visible wound whatsoever. Don't be duped by the WCA hype about caring for injured animals. This bird brought big bold life into our yard for years and we looked forward to enjoying its antics in the future; it was never given a chance. If someone has any concern for the well-being of wildlife they should avoid this outfit like the plague. And if they have the slightest soft spot for injured animals and don't wish to encourage euthanasia, I would advise them not to make any financial contributions to them either. Although the bird did exhibit some drooping of its wing while at my home, when I took the cloth off its cage upon entering the WCA killing facility, the crow showed no wing drooping whatsoever. It was if he was puffing himself up to show he was all right perhaps sensing he was in trouble. In fact the clerk at the front office remarked "what a cute little bird;" the veterinarian on duty killed it within the next few minutes If WCA had been honest and taken a quick look at the bird and suggested any reservations, I would have made sure the bird had proper care. However, they snatched it and killed it with impunity. With all the human encroachment and degradation of wildlife areas, I believe it is important to try to preserve and help wildlife as much as possible. This one lone little bird deserved a chance at life. I was trying to get care for the bird; the last thing on earth I wanted was for WCA to kill the bird in an instant. read more

I am so grateful for the Wildlife Care Association, because I've been able to take hurt or baby wild animals to them. When I drop off an animal I also leave $20 - $40 donation. It may not be a lot of money, but it helps them with their operations costs. Please consider making a donation when dropping off an animal. Thanks! read more

I found an injured squirrel in Aug that I had absolutely no idea what to do with. After a few phone calls to 3-1-1 and a local vet, they both led to me to this place. And what a wonderful place this is. Please help get the word out for this essential sanctuary that is much needed in our community. I,too,like K.C. wondered what became of the squirrel that I took in but it is sometimes difficult to get an answer. I couldn't get one either but that is understandable seeing as they are run by volunteers. I just received their latest newsletter and see that they are hurting for funds and may be closing 2 days a week. I sincerely hope that this place will continue to thrive and stay open. Would hate to see it close as there are not many options when it comes to injured wildlife and their care in this city. read more

Extremely upset with this place and the way they treated my sister who kindly took two baby birds there for me. We rescued an injured baby bird that's nest fell apart and fell off our roof on a stormy day and when we tried to put the bird back we saw there was two more birds in the nest. We let them be and checked on them throughout the night until noticing the mom never came back so we brought them inside for the night to keep them warm and put them back the next morning. The mother never returned and we had worked all day so they hadn't had anything to eat and a volunteer from this place said to feed them and bring them to her in the morning. The injured bird had passed away so we took the other two in and fed them. The next day my sister was kind enough to drive an hour up to this place and they treated her as though she had done something wrong. They demanded to know why we took the birds in and accused her of taking them from the mother bird. She was in total disbelief of how she was treated and even told them that I had been in contact with their volunteer for the past two days who was instructing me on what to do. Seriously shocked by this treatment! read more

Today, I found a little green feathered hummingbird hanging upside down on a perch on the feeder. It was not moving. I thought that it had died and was devastated, particularly seeing it that way. We carefully took it off the perch and put it on some warm cloths thinking it was very cold. The bird still felt warm. A neighbor suggested that I contact the Wildlife Care Association. Their office was open until 6:00 this Sunday afternoon, so I drove my little buddy over there. Later, doing research on the internet, I found a picture of a bird in the exact position, hanging from its feet. The research explained TORCOR, a way they hang when they are sort of in a hibernation state and their metabolism slows way down. Its bill just barely moved, it stirred slightly just once. I pray that it recovers to bless our lives again. Another hummer did feed during this time. Thank you Kim and all the other folks who work to take care of the wildlife that we ask you to care for. Bless you all!! Barbara Wilson read more

Said they would call the police if I walked out with the bird. I wasn't comfortable leaving it there. They wanted to grab the bird from my hands. I'm going to call a lawyer in the morning. I've never felt so threatened!!! I had to leave it there because I felt like I was going to be arrested for taking it else where!!!! People came out and looked at me and didn't smile. Called the police department later that day and they asked me why they would threaten me like that!! Calling a lawyer in the morning because I spent the rest of my day feeling like a criminal for finding it and the mental stress I am still going through. read more

I have used WCA several times for squirrel babies that fell out of our tree and for birds that have flown into windows at work and home. They are always helpful and courteous. They ask for a donation, which I gladly give, because they are a non-profit. They take all kinds of wildlife and help them return to the wild. read more

This is THE PLACE to volunteer, to donate, or to bring any wildlife in need of help! The staff is knowledgable, friendly, and will do everything in its power to give wildlife a second chance. The facility runs on donations and volunteers, so if you're looking for a local place to donate time or funds to, please consider WCA. What I really like about WCA is that they don't discriminate against any wildlife - they'll save anything they can from squirrels to pigeons to magpies & hummingbirds. As a volunteer, the staff will teach you how to differentiate between the featherless birds that are in need of help. You learn how to feed and care for them properly until they are strong enough for release back into the wild. If you don't want to work directly with the animals, there's still other things one can do at the front desk or administratively. Volunteering here has been incredibly rewarding! read more

Wildlife Association mails too many requests for donation. There is no place on their website to cancel.

This organization is fabulous and not only deserves kudos but donations and volunteers. Over the years I have taken them approx. 24 juvenile herons, 2 baby squirrels, 11 ducklings (8 of which made the news due to falling through a storm grate on an Easter Sunday), a starling and a dove who was covered in sticky glue causing her to be unable to fly or open her beak. They have never refused an animal and to my knowledge all of the animals survived. And the dove, they even returned her back to where she was found because she had a mate and they knew he would be looking for her. Fabulous fabulous group of people. Their volunteers even answered the phone on Easter and took the ducklings in that same day! Wish I had a million dollars to give them. read more
