Our Mission
California Wildlife Center takes responsibility for the protection of native wildlife through rehabilitation, education, and conservation. It is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of native California species, who otherwise would be left to suffer from the effects of human encroachment, habitat destruction and environmental damage.
Our core work is the rescue and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife, supported by state-of-the-art animal care and rehabilitation facilities, a cadre of professionally-trained staff, dedicated volunteers and an engaged community.
Our Values
California Wildlife Center is committed to creating a healthy sustainable planet that values all life. To accomplish this, CWC is engaged in inspiring members of the community to:
– Define and adopt best practices for the environment, including habitat protection
– Ensure imperiled wildlife have access to appropriate medical and rehabilitative services

Co-Existing With Wildlife
With a population of over 10 million and an area of over 4700 square miles, Los Angeles is a densely packed metropolis. As people flock to the area for its beautiful beaches, phenomenal weather and scenic landscapes, they come in greater and greater contact with animals. Whether it’s accidentally knocking down a bird’s nest, or a piece of trash ingested by a sea lion, the human encroachment in Southern California is having a deleterious effect on its wildlife.
While some animal adaptation occurs, at CWC our goal is to keep native fauna wild by rehabilitating animals as quickly as possible and releasing them back into their native territory.
We accept animals 365 days a year. Whether directly from the public, through our relationships with local animal care centers or from local vets, animals in need know that they can come to CWC for care. We receive over 10,000 calls a year from the public that range from raccoons in the attic, a fox struck by a car or an orphaned duckling. Our staff and volunteers provide vital information that is key in saving the animals lives.
ANIMAL CARE VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are needed 7 days a week, 365 days a year, to help our Animal Care Department run. Wildlife Rehabilitation generates a lot of dishes and laundry and each species requires a specific diet. In addition to these tasks, volunteers will be taught how to feed and clean our patients at various stages of care. In the spring and summer, we also need volunteers to assist with the many baby animals requiring care.
