Our role is to help people find appropriate licensed wildlife rehabilitators or species-specific rescue professionals and coordinate safe assistance when feasible.

LOCAL RESCUE GUIDANCE
People searching for rabbit rescue in Farmersville, squirrel rescue in McKinney, or injured bird help in Collin County may need a species-specific rescue or licensed wildlife rehabilitator rather than a cat rescue.
Keep people and pets away and contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for guidance. Avoid feeding, giving water, or handling a wild squirrel unless instructed by a qualified professional.
Domestic rabbits and wild cottontails have very different needs. Contact a rabbit rescue for a domestic rabbit or a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for a wild rabbit. We may help coordinate a referral when feasible.
If a bird appears injured or a duckling is separated from its family, seek advice from a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or appropriate animal services. Healthy wildlife should generally be left undisturbed.
