OUR MISSION

The Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley is dedicated to providing sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife with exceptional free care, rehabilitation, and the opportunity for release. We also aim to educate the public about coexisting peacefully with local wildlife.

WHO ARE WE?

Founded in 1993, we are a 501(c)3 non-profit licensed by the California Department of Fish & Wildlife. We work under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to care for wildlife in distress according to their guidelines.

WHO DO WE SERVE?

All citizens and wildlife of Santa Clara County, from Mountain View to Morgan Hill. We primarily receive wildlife from this area, but also do not turn away wild animals brought from other cities/counties. We treat approximately 5,600 wild birds, mammals and reptiles from 160 different species each year. Animals are returned to local the habitats that will support them.
