  • Our Mission

    To provide high quality care and rehabilitation of injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife within the Silicon Valley Community. Through educational programs, we foster a positive coexistence between the general public and wildlife, and encourage an interest in, and concern for wildlife conservation issues. Through the dedication of approximately 120 volunteers, we care for over 4,000 birds and mammals from over 150 species each year.
