WHERE PEOPLE & WILDLIFE MEET WITH COMPASSION, CARE & UNDERSTANDING SINCE 1974.

At WildCare, we work to make sure all species can coexist – not just by treating sick or injured animals, but also by teaching people how to live peacefully with wildlife and by advocating for better protection of wildlife and our remaining open spaces. WildCare is based in Marin County, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
