Always talk with a licensed wildlife rehabilitator first before picking up wildlife. The Wildlife Hospital does not accept rabies vector species (raccoons, skunks, bats) or large animals (adult deer, adult bear). Consultation with a wildlife rehabilitator or the Wildlife Hospital can help you determine if intervention is needed. If a young animal is thought to be an orphan and is not injured, it is best to leave it alone and allow the parents to care for it. The Wildlife Health Hospital is unable to assist in the capture and transport of wildlife. Do not provide the animal with food or water unless specifically instructed by a wildlife professional. If you are able to do so safely, the animal can be assisted into a container (such as a box or pet carrier) and kept in a quiet, dark, warm area away from children and pets until it can be brought somewhere for care. To assist in getting the animal to a rehabilitator, you can call Animal Control at 20, who will help trap or capture the injured animal. Wildlife rehabilitator contact information can be found at The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation website under Find a Wildlife Rehabilitator Near You.
