The Birdsey Cape Wildlife Center is a a program of the New England Wildlife Centers. We run two non-profit wildlife veterinary hospitals and education centers located in Barnstable and Weymouth, Massachusetts. Together we work to provide veterinary and rehabilitative care to sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals.
In the process of caring for these patients we work to educate members of the public and spread the message of environmental conservation. Each day we work to preserve the rich natural history of Cape Cod and the islands, one animal - and one person at a time. Cape Wildlife Center is a non-profit full service veterinary clinic dedicated to the treatment, rehabilitation and release of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife here on Cape Cod.

About
Report
In January of 2019 we officially became a program of the New England Wildlife Centers. Our 5 acre facility located in Barnstable, MA serves as the Cape Cod branch of the organization. We work to provide the Centers' model of free wildlife veterinary care and care-based education to our local community.
Wildlife Care
Report
Each year New England Wildlife Centers admit over 5,000 sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals from all over Massachusetts. Our veterinary team works alongside students, volunteers, and community members to provide an excellent standard of care to each patient with the goal of returning them to the wild.
Education
Report
NEWC's education programs use the veterinary care of wild animals to teach, train, and reconnect people to wildlife, to the environment and to one another. Our programs include in-school and out-of-school programs at our facilities and in classrooms. Undergraduate, veterinary, and high school students complete job training internships in both our hospitals.
Become a Volunteer
Report
Volunteers are an integral part of achieving our mission of caring for wildlife in need, teaching others about wildlife and wildlife issues, and encouraging humane stewardship of wildlife. Volunteers at the center all come from unique backgrounds and bring with them specific skill sets. Cape Wildlife Center can use them all.

We are seeing a big increase in the number of calls for squirrels nesting in cars. With the pandemic people are driving less, and as a result squirrels are taking advantage and inhabiting the engine compartments. This video shows our directors harrowing experience trying to get "steven" the squirrel out his car.
