Wildlife Care Association

Wildlife Care Association, a renowned non-profit organization, is deeply committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of local wildlife. With a passion for wildlife and a dedication to their wellbeing, the association works tirelessly to provide a second chance at life for sick, orphaned, and injured animals.

The organization's mission is multifaceted, with a strong emphasis on education and community involvement. Trained staff, volunteers, and local veterinarians collaborate to provide medical services to the animals, ensuring they receive the best possible care during their recovery. Once these animals have healed or reached the age where they can fend for themselves, they are released back into their natural habitats.

Wildlife Care Association is a trusted partner for concerned citizens and government agencies, who bring over 7,000 animals to the organization each year. The organization's commitment to its cause is unwavering, as it is entirely supported by donations and regulated by the Federal and California Departments of Fish and Wildlife.

The roots of Wildlife Care Association can be traced back to the late 1970s when it was founded by prominent Sacramento naturalists, including MB Goodier, Effie Yeaw, and William B. Pond. Incorporated on May 18, 1978, and becoming a Federal Exempt 501c(3) non-profit organization on September 10, 1981, the association has spent over four decades rescuing and rehabilitating wild animals. Through its unwavering dedication and commitment to local wildlife, Wildlife Care Association continues to make a significant impact on the lives of wildlife in need.
