It is illegal for any person, other than a state appointed rehabilitator, to care for wildlife.
Non-releasable animals require State approval and Federal permits to be educational ambassadors.
*Please do not take babies from the wild. If you see an animal in distress, contact your local wildlife rehabilitation center for help.
