Wild Animal Rehabilitation and Rescue - Center for Wildlife in Cape Neddick (York), Maine

Rescuing sick, injured and orphaned wild animals

Welcome to The Center for Wildlife in Cape Neddick, Maine. For twenty-two years, our wildlife rehabilitation facility, its staff and volunteers have provided care for sick and injured wildlife until they can be released back into the wild.

The Center's mission also extends to providing information and education to the general public - raising awareness of the many wonderful wild species that live among us and a heightened sensitivity to the impacts we humans have on their lives.

Today, the Center treats 1600 animals a year from over 200 different species of wild birds, small mammals and reptiles and is one of the largest rehabilitators in New England.

We are looking for a few interns and volunteers to help us this fall and winter! Click here for info...

Remember: please don't rescue unless rescuing is needed!

If you think you've found a wild animal in need of help, get it out of immediate danger, then call us at (207) 361-1400 before taking further action! This is especially important with babies and juvenile animals.

Often what appears to be an orphan is actually a healthy baby whose mom is just out of sight. So if you accidentally bother a nest don't assume they need to be rescued! Give us a call, and we can share some tricks for helping reunite babies with mom. It is always our goal to only intervene when absolutely necessary - so if you find some, please call CFW first.
