Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and release injured & orphaned wild animals as well as educating the public on how to co-exist with our wild neighbors. Wildlife Care of SoCal was founded in 1994 by a group of individuals who saw with increasing regularity that wild animals were becoming victims of urbanization and therefore the desperate need for experienced wildlife rehabilitators, to care for our native wildlife.
Most of us are aware that because of human activities animal species globally are disappearing at an ever accelerating rate. Each year in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties alone, thousands of wild animals are injured, orphaned or displaced largely because of human-created problems: Through the efforts of concerned and caring humans, many animals can be rehabilitated.

Wildlife Care of SoCal was founded in 1994 by a group of individuals who saw with increasing regularity that wild animals were becoming victims of urbanization and therefore the desperate need for experienced wildlife rehabilitators, to care for our native wildlife. WCSC is permitted to rehabilitate all native wildlife with the exception of bear, deer and mountain lion.
Found an Animal
Report
In a wild animal's world which is quickly becoming the urban one, what our human instincts direct us to do is not always in the best interest of the animal. As nature is little closer to home these days, including our backyards, city streets and parks, our help is definitely needed but not in the capacity or to the extent that it is given.
Assisting Wildlife Babies
Report
Unlike human babies, wild babies are not constantly watched by their parents and spend large amounts of time alone. In many cases, wild babies should be left alone. In the event you do find a baby bird or mammal, unless you know that the parents have been killed or it is obvious that the baby is injured, observe the animal and the area from a distance to make absolutely sure the parents are not around before you intervene.
