CAPE COD

treating injured, ill and orphaned wildlife

PARTICIPATE! Fill out a Volunteer Application today!
WILD CARE, Inc. is Cape Cod’s only independent, native wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organization. Volunteer participation is key to all of our programs to help native wildlife; the number of lives we save is directly proportional to the number of hours volunteers donate. Please be specific about your interests and availability. We review applications on a rolling basis and will call you if your availability and abilities suit our needs. WILD CARE seeks to maintain a quiet environment for injured, ill and orphaned wildlife; this is not an opportunity for individuals primarily interested photography, handling, or personal, repetitive contact with wildlife. Unlike zoos, museums, and aquariums, the native animals we accommodate are not for display, fundraising, educational, entertainment or training purposes. They are here to heal and to be returned to the wild.
