This Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel came to us after he was found curled up in the basement of an apartment complex. He is currently getting the rest he deserves in our nursery as we treat for any possible head trauma he could've experienced. On his first day with us, he was already caught munching on some pecans and was even redecorating his recovery suite once he had regained some strength!

As a reminder, a generous friend is MATCHING all donations made to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center! That means all your gifts will go twice as far for patients like this little one. 💚 Donate today at https://wihumane.me/WildlifeMatch25 or here through our Donate button.

We’re currently in high need of fruit and berries for the patients in our care! 🍇
If you have any grapes, apples, pears, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or melon to spare, we’d be so grateful if you could drop them off between 9:00AM-5:00PM in the wildlife department, at 4500 W Wisconsin Ave in Milwaukee. This time of year, the spring babies are growing fast and eating like teenagers – we go through a whole lot of food and would appreciate any help we can get restocking our kitchen! Thank you so much!

This tiny ball of fluff is an Eastern Screech Owl nestling who fell from their nest and was unable to be returned. Thankfully, we were able to locate another licensed wildlife rehabilitator who had another nestling and an unreleasable foster parent ready to raise them both until they can head back to the wild. 💚

This adult Herring gull was found in a nearby parking lot, unable to fly. Upon initial examination, we found that their right wing was fractured and, after stabilizing the bird, we took X-rays to confirm the location and severity of the fracture. While being stuck with an immobilized wing isn't fun, it doesn't mean we can't brighten things up a bit with a festive wrap!

Your gift today will allow us to be there for animals in need, like this Great Horned Owl, who had to be delicately extracted from a soccer net. Sadly, we see several patients tangled in sports nets each year, and they often unintentionally make their situation worse in their panicked attempts to free themselves. Our team did a thorough exam and offered supportive care along with much-needed rest. Soon, the owl was back to full strength and was able to be released back into the wild – all thanks to supporters like you!

A stunning young mourning dove perched in their outdoor enclosure. They're given lots of natural branches to navigate, plenty of room to gain flight strength, and they even have fellow dove patients for camaraderie as they await release day! 💚

Learning crucial climbing skills for life in the wild takes a lot of practice! Our raccoon patients have a plethora of fun obstacles to explore in their outdoor enclosures, preparing them for release day. 🦝💚

👶This baby gull was displaced from his nest atop a large building and is now in care until he's old enough to head back to the wild. Thank you for ensuring we're always there for animals in need! 💚
