Wildlife Care
Treating Injured Wildlife in Montgomery & Beyond
It is important to know that in New York State, it is illegal for any person who is not a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or a permitted program to keep wildlife of any kind. Any veterinarian can treat injured wildlife, but only licensed wildlife rehabilitators are allowed to house and rehabilitate them.
Remember the phrase: “If you care, leave them there.” You may also want to familiarize yourself with what to do if you find orphaned or injured wildlife.
