WE ARE HERE TO HELP
Help for You and for Them

Every call, every message, and every effort to reach out means you care — and that care makes all the difference. Our team of dedicated volunteer rehabilitators works tirelessly to help injured, orphaned, and displaced wildlife across Niagara County. Because we are all volunteers, sometimes it may take a moment for us to return your call, but please know that your message matters and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

To get help quickly, please call the volunteer closest to your location from the list below. If you can’t reach someone right away, it’s perfectly okay to leave a message with more than one of us. We want you and the animal in need to get help fast.

While waiting for a return call, keep the animal in a quiet, dark, and safe place away from pets and people. Never offer food or water unless directed by a rehabilitator.

Below, you’ll also find contact information for other rescue organizations, local government departments, and emergency wildlife resources. And if your question isn’t urgent or animal-related, please use the contact form at the bottom of this page to reach our team directly.

Thank you for caring enough to act — your compassion helps save lives every single day.

Other Contact Numbers & Information

Before you call, please remember: all Wild Kritters numbers are volunteers. Most of us work other jobs, and while we want to help every animal, sometimes you may need to call more than one volunteer to reach someone quickly. If no one answers, please leave a message — it’s perfectly fine to leave messages with multiple people.

While waiting for a return call, keep the animal in a quiet, dark, and safe place. Do not attempt to feed or treat the animal unless advised by a licensed rehabilitator. Thank you for caring enough to help!
