Does the animal really need help?

If you see a wild animal in distress, it is important to resist the temptation to interfere unless the animal is clearly sick, hurt, orphaned, or in immediate danger.

When evaluating a wildlife situation, the hands-on techniques will depend on whether the animal is an infant, adolescent, or adult. For more detailed information, please click on the button below.
