Conservation through Rehabilitation

Carolina Wildlife Conservation Center is a wildlife rescue and sanctuary located near Charlotte, North Carolina. At CWCC, we are devoted to the care and release of injured, orphaned, ill and displaced wildlife...

Step 1

Handle with care and caution.

• First, determine if the animal needs help

• Wear gloves and use thick towels, even with the smallest animal

• NEVER touch an animal with bare hands

• Use extra caution with skunks, fox, raccoons and bats

• Get it into a secure box right away

Step 2

DO NOT feed or treat the wildlife.

Improper feeding can cause:

• Bloat

• Diarrhea

• Aspiration Pneumonia

• Death

Wildlife can stand a good amount of time without food or water.

Step 3

Keep the animal stress-free

• Put the animal in a secure box

• Place the box in a dark, quiet and warm place

• Do not handle or keep looking at the animal

• Stay very quiet and keep pets away

Step 4

Call us Immediately!

980-389-1133

We run on a voicemail only system. Please leave a detailed voicemail with the animal, the size of the animal, the location found, how long you've had the animal and how you can be reached. You can also text us a photo for a faster response.
