The Cape Wildlife Center veterinary clinic and rehabilitation facility is licensed by state and federal agencies to care for wild animals. Among the 1,400 wildlife patients that have been treated by our trained, professional staff are songbirds, shorebirds, waterfowl, birds of prey, snakes, turtles, skunks, opossums, rabbits, and raccoons.

Many of the injuries sustained by patients at the center are the direct or indirect result of human activities or intolerance. As their habitat disappears, wild animals are increasingly likely to become the victims of car or boat collisions, fishing line entanglements, and accidental or deliberate poisonings.

By restoring wild animals to health and releasing them back into the wild, we help to redress some of the harm that comes to them through human activity, and reaffirm their value as part of the ecosystem. One of the greatest rewards in wildlife rehabilitation is the release of a patient, healthy and strong, back to freedom in the wild.
