WildCare Transition

The Wildlife Hospital at WildCare Transition is OPEN!

WildCare's Wildlife Hospital is now OPEN to admit injured and orphaned wildlife patients at our Transition location from 9am - 5pm, seven days a week!

All of WildCare's programs (except Wildlife Camps) will operate at WildCare Transition for two years while our new facility is being constructed at our Albert Park Lane site.

All of WildCare's operations are now fully functioning at Transition, and construction will soon start at our Albert Park Lane location. 

For the next two years, all Wildlife Hospital patients will be admitted and cared for at WildCare Transition, and our Terwilliger Nature Education programs are based at Transition.

We will be opening our Wildlife Education Exhibits at WildCare Transition to the public for limited hours beginning on November 5th. Admission will be free. We hope you’ll come to visit our non-releasable Wildlife Ambassadors and learn their rescue stories and amazing adaptations!

Visiting hours will be posted on our website.

We want to say a huge and heartfelt thank-you to the donors who have supported our Elevate WildCare Capital Campaign (still currently in its "quiet phase"), and the many other people who have made WildCare Transition and our plans for the new WildCare facility possible.
