Locate a Rehabilitator
PLEASE NOTE:
-
It may take several hours for a volunteer to return your call since many wildlife rehabilitators are volunteers whose main occupation is in an unrelated field. Please keep the mammal/baby warm and away from pets and people while you wait for the rehabilitator to respond; do not feed the animal.
-
Wildlife rehabilitators are not funded by the state of Texas. A donation will be appreciated to help with the cost of care.
