Welcome
For more than three
decades the Treasure Coast Wildlife Hospital has
been a community institution, offering help for
sick, injured and orphaned wild animal patients, plus information
and education for human residents and visitors.
We are undertaking
an ambitious project - the construction of a new Treasure Coast Wildlife
Center to amplify and enhance our services to wildlife and to the
community. Learn more about this wonderful project.

Bald Eagle Released
after Recovery -
see video  4.1
mBytes Windows Media
An
adult female bald eagle was received in October 2007 after being hit
by a vehicle outside of Sebring, Florida. The bird sustained
abrasions and bruises to its right wrist, but luckily the injuries
were not serious. After treatment and rehabilitation here at TCWC,
the bird was returned to the wild near its home area on November 29th.
Watch the video of its release!
Representative
Cases from Baby Season
- nest containing 4 baby wrens hidden in trailer boat, transported
from North Carolina and discovered when the boat is launched
in Stuart
- 3 baby barn owls removed from attic by builder who did not know
such action was illegal
- cottontail rabbit nest revealed by lawnmower- 1 baby killed, 3
others rescued
- orphaned fawn found near dead mother deer on roadside
- baby yellow crowned night heron found in mangrove swamp, no nest
or adults located
- tree trimmers remove palm fronds and displace 3 baby squirrels
- and MANY, MANY MORE!
Without intervention, none of these animals – and hundreds of
others like them – would survive. But for over three decades, wild
animals along the Treasure Coast have enjoyed a special place of respite,
care, and recovery. A place where broken wings can heal, orphaned babies
can grow, and untamed spirits can soar. That special place is the Treasure
Coast Wildlife Center.
While the work done here is priceless, it does carry a substantial
cost. Baby season is always a strain because of the sheer numbers
of new patients
and their diverse requirements. We depend upon your contributions
to provide for their needs. Please help by making a special ‘Baby
Season Gift’ today.
