Wildlife Rehabilitation

Ethical, expert care for every injured or orphaned animal that comes through our door, with the goal of getting them back to the wild.

We care for injured and orphaned native British wildlife, from garden birds and hedgehogs to owls and other larger species. Every animal that arrives is assessed, treated and given time to recover, with the goal of returning it to the wild as soon as it's ready.

How we work

  • Injured wildlife: emergency care for animals hurt by traffic, cats, garden equipment or illness
  • Orphaned wildlife: hand rearing young animals that have lost their parents, until they're old enough to fend for themselves
  • Ethical, welfare led care: every decision is made with the animal's best interests first, including when the kindest option is humane euthanasia rather than prolonged suffering
  • Native species focus: we specialise in the wildlife you'll actually find in Cambridgeshire gardens, hedgerows and rivers
  • Release: wherever possible, animals go back to the wild, often close to where they were found

What we take in

Chris specialises in birds, from garden regulars to raptors and seabirds, and is a licensed bat worker. If you've found something not on this list, ring us anyway and we'll point you to the right place.

For casualties, please phone us on 07548 242961 rather than emailing, it's much quicker.
