If you believe to have found abandoned or injured wildlife, please read below to determine what next steps are needed:

• If you are unsure if a young animal has been abandoned, please do not touch the animal and monitor from a distance to see if a parent returns. Often, young animals are left alone while their parents leave to find sources of food.

• Resist the urge to provide any food, fluids, or formula unless directed to by a wildlife rehabilitator. This can often cause more harm if done incorrectly.

• If the animal is determined to be injured or abandoned, keep the animal in a warm, dark, and quiet environment to reduce stress until it is brought to a facility where it can receive proper care.

If you have found abandoned or injured wildlife during our regular business hours, please give us a call at 719.390.7995 to speak with a receptionist in regards to the animal found and it’s current status.
