We rescue and rehabilitate wildlife in Fauquier, Rappahannock, & Culpeper counties Virginia. Thank you for your interest in Native Wildlife Rescue and for your compassion for injured wildlife. Please continue reading below to learn more about us.
Contact usOur team was established by a group of volunteer rehabilitators to better serve the public and aid wildlife. All of our members have received legal permits from the Federal Government and the Commonwealth of Virginia which allow us to work with wildlife. We have been specifically trained to handle sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife. Each year we care for hundreds of birds, reptiles, and mammals who are in need of our assistance. Many of these animals require extensive care before they may be released back into their natural habitats.
Please keep in mind that it is illegal to keep wildlife unless you have acquired the proper permits to do so. It is not unusual for people to receive fines for unlawfully keeping wild creatures. We would hate for that to happen to anyone, especially to those who are simply trying to help. So please, if you find a wild animal, contact a qualified wildlife rehabilitator immediately.

Many people wonder how they can help prevent the injuries and trauma of the animals we care for. House cats are responsible for more wildlife injuries than any other individual animal. In fact, nearly 30% of the cases we receive are the result of domesticated cats. Even when caring people bring us animals that have been attacked by cats, almost 80% of these animals will die. Cats are merely acting on their natural instincts and just like you, we love them dearly. However, we highly recommend that they remain indoors where they do not have the chance to harm the wildlife.
