wildlife hospital

Creature care facility

A wildlife hospital is a facility that provides medical care to injured, sick, or orphaned wild animals, typically with the goal of rehabilitation and release back into nature.

Unlike veterinary clinics for pets, wildlife hospitals treat species ranging from songbirds to deer to marine mammals.

Many operate as nonprofits staffed partly by volunteers: We took the injured owl to a wildlife hospital.
