Wild Care Friends
We are halfway through the year, and Wild Care has already received over 1,100 animals. We are currently caring for over 100 patients including three Long-tailed Weasels, three Common Loons, an Eastern Screech Owl, and dozens of orphaned songbirds...
Wild Care is incredibly grateful to live in a community where local police and fire departments, along with numerous organizations Cape-wide, come together to assist and protect our wildlife. Check out our story below about the fledgling Osprey that was disentangled from fishing line with a little help from the Dennis Police and Fire Dept., and Wild Care. Happy to report that this rescued chick was the first of its siblings to test its wings at the nest last week! (Photo right.)
Thank you Cape Cod for your love of wildlife. <3
Sincerely, Executive Director, Stephanie ~

About Wild Care
Since 1994, Wild Care has treated injured, ill and orphaned native wildlife for release back into the wild capable of independent survival, prevented wildlife casualties through public education and counseling, and engaged the community in conservation services through volunteerism. Wild Care does not charge the public for our services. We accept wildlife regardless of a rescuer's ability to make a donation; and we never compromise quality of care or the dignity of an animal's life for fundraising purposes.
