If you have brought a patient in to us, thank you. But please don’t let your caring stop at the door. Your patient will be with us for 6 weeks on average, during which time it will receive all the medication, food, shelter and care it needs to be able to return to the wild.
We receive no central funding and rely entirely on donations from the public to raise the funds we need to treat the animals in our care.
Please help us to help your patient, by making a donation to cover the cost of its care or by becoming a member of Wildlife Aid today.
