We are open seven days a week, from 9 AM to 7 PM.

If you find a sick or injured bird or small mammal during our open hours, please bring it in, no call or appointment needed. Please note that we are not able to pick up wildlife.

AFTER HOURS:

If you find an animal in need after hours, please keep it indoors in a quiet, safe place, such as a ventilated box, and bring it to the clinic the next morning when we open. Please do not feed the animal as this can cause more harm. Visit our Rescue page for more guidance.
