Baby squirrel season has begun! We admitted the first tiny babies to the Wildlife Hospital this week.
This baby was found on the ground, and she had been caught by a cat!
Fortunately her rescuer knew that a furless baby with her eyes still shut desperately needs warmth and care (and any animal caught by a cat needs antibiotics!). She brought the baby squirrel to WildCare.

Join our interactive Spring Wildlife Camp over Zoom for an unforgettable experience during which campers will learn how our wild animal neighbors prepare for baby season!
Spring Wildlife Camp will run April 5 - 9, 2021 from 10am to 12pm on Zoom.
This week of camp is packed with Wildlife Ambassador animal encounters, nature exploration, games, crafts, and much more!
Campers will investigate fascinating taxidermy, share stories, and learn about amazing animal adaptations for growing up in the wild.
They'll also watch behind-the-scenes videos from our wildlife hospital to see how medical staff care for our baby animal patients.

It has been several months, but WildCare continues to admit songbirds of many species that are sick and dying from salmonellosis. It is still not safe to rehang your birdfeeders!
This bacterial disease transmits between birds at bird feeders. It is deadly to songbirds.
To prevent the spread and save your neighborhood birds, PLEASE remove your bird feeders and bird baths if you see any birds that look ill. Sick birds may be fluffed up and lethargic.
If you have not yet seen sick birds,
Together we can stop the spread of this disease and protect songbirds!

With the help of renowned artist Michael Schwab, WildCare asks you to Respect the Nest this spring and summer!
Please join us for a free, informative Respect the Nest webinar presentation on Tuesday, March 9 at 6pm (Pacific Standard Time.)
Presenters will include Melanie Piazza, Director of Animal Care at WildCare, Jim Cairnes, Arborist at Small World Tree Company, and Alison Hermance, Director of Communications at WildCare.
Attendees will learn:
- What animals may be using your trees and shrubs as a nursery... even as you read this!
- What to do if you inadvertently cut down a nest or if you find an injured animal.
- How to tell if there are active nests in your yard.
- When it's safe (and better for your trees) to prune and trim.
- How WildCare cares for baby animals orphaned by tree trimming.
The presentation will feature information about our wildlife neighbors, and behind-the-scenes videos and information about how orphaned baby birds and squirrels are cared for in WildCare¡¯s Wildlife Hospital.
