The occasional wild animal finds its way to the Meriden Humane Society in need of help. However, because we have no wildlife rehabilitator, we cannot take in wild animals. If you need help with wildlife, we can point you in the right direction, starting with the list of contacts in this post.
Most of the time wildlife should be left alone, but there are certain situations where a professional wildlife rehabilitator must be contacted. If you need help with orphaned, injured, or immature wildlife it is important to contact a professional. Only a liscenced wildlife rehabilitator has the expertise to care for wild animals.
If you have found a wild animal in need of help, here are some local wildlife rehabilitators listed by town.
