See our YouTube Video of our release of six rehabilitated deer at CWC.

Clearly the most rewarding part of CWC’s mission, is the successful rehabilitation and RELEASE of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. As the only rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles and Orange Counties permitted to rehabilitate fawns, CWC staff and volunteers were thrilled when we were able to release these 6 young deer in early September – some having been with us since April! We were especially pleased that “Eve”, the fawn with the broken leg healed so beautifully and was able to be released with the others. Kudo’s to Dr. Tom and his team.

Special thanks to all our dedicated volunteers and supporters this past year – without you we would not have been able to care for the more than 2,650 animals who came to CWC in 2009.

California Wildlife Center (CWC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife. The Center fulfills this responsibility by providing expert medical care and through community outreach and education. The Center is located on a three + acre parcel in the Santa Monica Mountains, generously provided by California State Parks.

Since its founding in 1998, CWC has provided care for more than 20,000 animals. Operating with a small staff, including a veterinarian and a team of 40 trained volunteers who log 13,000+ hours a year, CWC provides emergency care to native wildlife in Los Angeles County, 365 days a year. The Center does not receive government subsidies and must rely on donations to continue its mission.
