Welcome to The Center for Wildlife in Cape Neddick, Maine. For twenty-three years, our wildlife rehabilitation facility, its staff and volunteers have provided medical care and safe sanctuary for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife until they can be released back into the wild.
The Center's mission also extends to providing information and education to the general public - raising awareness of the many wonderful wild species that live among us and a heightened sensitivity to the impacts humans have on their lives.
Today, the Center treats 1600 animals a year (and over 150 separate species) of wild birds, small mammals and reptiles and is one of the largest rehabilitators in New England.
Wintertime operating funds are needed! Please give generously... and thank-you from all of us!
Remember: please don't rescue unless rescuing is needed! It is always our goal at CFW to intervene only when absolutely necessary. If you think you've found a wild animal in need of help, protect it from immediate danger, then call us at (207) 361-1400 before taking further action! This is especially important with babies and juvenile animals, and we're still seeing a few even this late in the season!
What's happening right now at CFW?

| The ice storm of December 2008, followed immediately by the "last shopping weekend before Christmas 2008 block-buster snowstorm." | And, so, we return to that old familiar sight of the snow-covered raptor enclosure. | ...And yup, that's CFW Executive Director Karen McElmurry digging out the bulkhead! |
