Transporting an Animal
Report
Please DO NOT FEED or OFFER WATER to the animal. It can aspirate or choke on what it is offered. Infant mammals require very specific food that needs to be fed using the correct technique. If the animal is too cold, stressed, or injured feeding it can jeopardize the animal's survival or even cause death.
Wildlife Release Program
Report
The Wildlife in Need Center's mission is to rehabilitate and release wildlife back into their natural environment and to provide quality education programs. Since inception, over 63,791 animals representing more than 140 species have been brought to WINC for care or medical attention. Each species requires a slightly different habitat in the wild to survive and a place to call home.
