Wildlife Rescue in Huntingdon

Wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and release across Huntingdon and the surrounding villages.

Huntingdon and the water meadows along the Great Ouse are home to plenty of wildlife that occasionally needs a helping hand, especially after flooding or during nesting season. Cambridgeshire WIRE covers Huntingdon and the market towns and villages around it, caring for injured and orphaned animals until they’re strong enough to be released.

What we do

  • Emergency care for injured wildlife, from traffic collisions to cat or dog attacks
  • Hand rearing for orphaned birds and mammals
  • Ethical, welfare led treatment from experienced carers
  • Release back into the wild close to where the animal was found, wherever possible

Every animal is treated by the same team, using the same approach, whether they’re found in Huntingdon itself or one of the surrounding villages. Read more about how we work on our Wildlife Rehabilitation page.

Found injured wildlife nearby?

Keep it somewhere warm, dark and quiet in a secure box, don't offer food or water unless advised to, and get in touch with us as soon as you can.

Chris is the main point of contact for Cambridgeshire WIRE, with just a small team supporting her. She works with local wildlife trusts, zoos and other contacts, but always needs more help closer to home. Register your interest for your town or village.
