About
The Richmond Wildlife Center opened April 1, 2013 after determining a great need existed in our community for sick and injured wildlife. Taking two years, we fostered relationships with local in-home rehabilitators and the area veterinary facilities supporting in-home rehabilitators. During this time we were able to ascertain the skill-sets, methodologies, knowledge of governing laws and patient access to veterinary care for wildlife patients admitted into care by local in-home rehabilitators and their supporting veterinary professionals. We recognized an immediate need for a dedicated professional veterinary facility that would provide direct patient oversight, required quality continuing education of volunteer personnel and formalized veterinary care with rehabilitators and veterinary professionals working in house together for the welfare of our wild populations and individual patients. We work tirelessly to ensure patients in our care receive the best care possible to the benefit of the wild populations in our area in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws.
The Richmond Wildlife Center is the first and only professional wildlife medical center in the Greater Richmond region providing veterinary and rehabilitative care to sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. We are the only professional veterinary facility in the area permitted to intake, treat and rehabilitate sick, injured and orphaned wildlife beyond 24 hours through the eventual release of the animal back to the wild. We are also the only facility and wildlife rehabilitators in our area permitted by law to be in possession of, permitted to transport or treat Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles and other threatened and endangered species.
