Before you call

For rabies-vector species, bats in a living space, or any wild animal inside a home, contact local animal control first. For most other situations, call two or three rehabilitators because availability varies.

Leave your name and callback number, exact location, species or description, the animal's condition, and any containment steps already taken.
