Wildlife Care Center of Florida 4960 Palm Avenue * Canaveral Groves, FL 32926 321-639-8655 Jennifer & Paul Sypien eMail Available: 24 hours / 7 days We're here to give all of them our all!

What's this?	Welcome to the Wildlife Care Center of Florida, Inc. We recently opened in Canaveral Groves since a year this coming October. My husband and I own and operate this organization on our property at 4960 Palm Avenue. Our dedication comes from our desire to save God's creatures as they are precious gifts for mankind to protect and enjoy - not harm or see as targets or cruelty. We also provide information to the public on any questions pertaining to wildlife. We provide the second chance they may not otherwise have. Types of Service 24 hour animal acceptance licensed trapper will pick up if necessary education offer solutions to help humans and animals co-habit we accept "pets"** made or bought that are wild (ie: raccoons & skunks) and give permanent homes with us **Wildlife made into pets can NOT be released into the wild. They will perish - unacceptable! What to do when you come upon orphaned wildlife? Babies can be, as much as possible, scooped up and placed out of harms way. Always allow the mother the first chance at reuniting with her young. Baby birds can be put into a box or basket and tacked up on the tree their nest is in. Mom will tend to them (it is an old wives tale that touching guarantees mom won't feed them - she will!) This also works with squirrels. The only extra thing to do is watch for mom; if she does not go to them within a few hours, you will need to call a licensed rehabber to take them in. Baby mammals can be (with a towel or gloves) put into a semi-shallow box at the edge of the area where they were found, out of the sun, away from ant hills, and left for mom to come back. Watch for her. If she does not return within around six hours, they will need to be taken - not handled - to a licensed rehabber Do not feed wildlife (maybe pedalite or water) but nothing else - not even if you know what we use. This is Florida State Law: it is ILLEGAL to "work with," keep, raise, make better, "help," have possession of wildlife. No one is allowed to do anything except turn them over to a licensed rehabber ASAP. We appreciate your help. We are a non funded organization - one of two in Brevard County (to our knowledge). We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to care for and raise injured and orphaned Florida wildlife. We survive on donations. Please call us about how you can volunteer and help our animals with food and financial contributions.
