Wildlife Rescue Centers

Wildlife First Aid, Rescue Centers, and Information

This page is a curated list of wildlife first aid resources, regional rescue and rehabilitation centers, and trusted information for the Philadelphia tri-state (NJ/PA/DE). If you find injured wildlife or a baby animal, use these links to determine the safest next step and connect with qualified help.

Important note: Wildlife babies almost always do best with their own parents. In many cases, the parents are nearby and will accept the baby back if it is returned to the right place. When in doubt, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator before intervening.
