Our Story

The Key West Wildlife Center is a non profit organization providing rescue and rehabilitative care to wildlife from mile marker 0-30 in the Florida Keys. We are a small rescue and rehabilitation facility operating as a trauma clinic and field hospital. Our main focus is rescuing and rehabilitating sick, injured or orphaned native birds and returning them to the wild. We are not a zoo. Our state and federal permits require that our avian patients be screened from public view while they are rehabilitating in our clinic and aviaries. We do have a very small number of avian educational abassadors that the public can see. We are located in the City of Key West Indigenous Park which is kept wild to attract many types of migratory raptors, shorebirds, warblers and songbirds. The Indigenous Park is a major birding spot and important migratory corridor greenspace. It is one of the last stands of upland scrub habitat left on the island. We are open every day of the week except Wednesday from 9-5. Admission is free but we always accept donations to help support our clinic and aviaries. Thanks for visiting and helping to support our mission of wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and release!
