WildCare's Wildlife Hospital is OPEN to admit patients 9am - 5pm, but our Courtyard and Museum are closed to visitors as of Saturday, July 16, 2022.
This closure is out of concern for our resident Wildlife Ambassador animals due to the detection of
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in birds in California. Learn more...
