Important Information
Found an Injured or Orphaned Wild Animal?
Wildlife rehabilitation requires specialized knowledge and permits. Please do not attempt to care for wild animals yourself — contact a licensed rehabilitator immediately.

1
Stay calm and keep your distance. Wild animals can be dangerous and carry disease. Do not handle them with bare hands.
2
Visit the CT DEEP website for guidance specific to the species you found and to locate a licensed wildlife rehabilitator near you.
3
Contact Stratford Animal Control at 225 Beacon Point Road if you need immediate assistance with wildlife in distress.

Do not give food or water to injured wildlife — the wrong diet can be fatal. Leave care to the professionals.
