WildCare believes that all wild species, be it a sparrow or eagle, mouse or bobcat, play an important part in keeping the planet healthy. For this reason WildCare accepts and treats all wild native species with the same care and respect.

WildCare is first and foremost an animal hospital and health care facility for all wild animals native to Oklahoma.  WildCare does not take in or treat exotics or domestic animals of any kind. WildCare is not just for the animals. WildCare promotes good stewardship of wildlife by providing individuals a place to take injured or orphaned wildlife. Each person will have an opportunity to discuss the circumstances of the animal and its condition. The animal will then be properly identified and any species information known will be shared with that person. A discussion of what is wrong with that animal and the stages of recovery will be explored.

WildCare graciously accepts over 3,000 wild animals annually with the goal of returning as many animals as possible back into the wild.

Through our rehabilitation efforts and educational programs WildCare Foundation strives to teach people the importance of living in harmony with our natural world and to deepen their understanding of how each species plays a vital role in maintaining our healthy environment.


Accreditation
WildCare Foundation is an accredited member of the Association of Sanctuaries, a member of the National Wildlife Rehabilitation Association, and liaison for the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council.

How did WildCare begin? 
With one animal and the Founder, Rondi Large who became licensed to rehabilitate wildlife in 1982. WildCare incorporated in 1994 as a tax-exempt non-profit 501c3 organization. "I've always been attracted to wildlife, and I have a soft spot for wounded animals. I feel sorry that their habitat is decreasing. Terrible things happen to them, usually technology induced, that they can't control. Sometimes, when I look at what we've done to the planet, I feel apologetic for being human. We cause a lot of damage.  WildCare doesn't receive cottontails that have been half caught by a hawk. The hawk gets them, which is fine. That's the way it's supposed to be in the natural world. But we've created a lot of obstacles for wild animals, and the least we can do is pick up the pieces. This is my way of saying I'm sorry, but let me help." WildCare Director Rondi Large

Educational Services
Presentations to schools and civic groups interested in learning more about wildlife rehabilitation and its impact are free. Reservations are required and donations are always appreciated in return for educational programming. Educational seminars can include slide shows and narration by Kelly Bass or by a WildCare Volunteer.
