Rescue. Rehabilitate. Release.

PLEASE NOTE: We are now accepting wildlife in a capacity limited to small mammals and small birds. 

If you have found an animal in need of help, please call us at 705-292-9211 or email

info@kawarthawildlifecentre.ca or click here for a list of rehabilitation centres closest to us.

We are a rehabilitation centre and not a rescue operation.  We currently do not have the resources to send volunteers out to rescue wildlife in distress.   We rely on members of the public to transport captured animals to us. Always remember that human safety comes first.  Do not attempt to rescue an animal if it is not safe to do so.

A Charitable Wildlife Organization

Kawartha Wildlife Centre is a charitable wildlife rehabilitation organization located in the heart of the Kawarthas. Our goal is to rescue, rehabilitate and release sick, orphaned and injured native Ontario wildlife.
