A few details
can help us help.
- The kind of animal, if you can identify it.
- The location where it was found or is currently staying.
- What concerns you: injury, illness, or another situation.
- Whether you have already spoken with a care provider.
- Whether transportation is the missing piece.
For urgent animal medical care, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or a veterinarian who treats that species. Please do not wait for a RAIDC callback.
