Southern California Wetlands and Wildlife Rehabilitation and Care

I'm a proud animal care volunteer at the non-profit Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach, California. The Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center (WWCC) is dedicated to the rehabilitation and release of sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife, some of which are threatened/endangered species. The center is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Who Are We?

The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center is a 501c3 non-profit wildlife rehabilitation center. We admit sick, injured, or orphaned wild animals with the goal of rehabilitation and re-release back into the wild. We've been working with wildlife on California's Orange coast for over 50 years

Being Part of the WWCC Team

At The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center, I get to be part of a diverse group of people who share one core value: the desire to help wildlife. We work with thousands of animals and hundreds of unique species each year, so no two days are ever the same! As a WWCC volunteer, I get to help care for these animals from the the time they come in the door, until the moment they are released.

Animal Care Volunteers

Animal Care volunteers help to maintain WWCC patients' wellbeing. This includes daily cleaning tasks such as laundry and washing dishes, as well as all other essentials of wildlife husbandry, such as preparing diets and assisting WWCC medical staff with different procedures. As an Animal Care volunteer I also get to assist with releasing healthy patients back to the wild when they're ready to go home.
