They cared for months for a severely injured pigeon I found. It was amazing to hear all the updates of him slowly recovering, even when nobody knew if he would be able to make it, and seeing how much will to live that little guy had. Thanks to all who cared for him.PLEASE DONATE

Most awful organization. If your intentions are to foster a rescue/rehabilitation, I DO NOT recommend bringing animals here. Please do your research and ask very specific questions before leaving animals with them. In my opinion they are more about ‘animal control’ than rescue/rehabilitation. They will euthanize, unnecessarily. I believe they do not have resources to treat/rehabilitate, but do not make this known. Had the most awful, heart wrenching and entirely unnecessary experience with them.

We have called your service several times about an injured Blue Herron and left messages the first time you guys came out but couldnt catch him left 4 messages like we were told to and no response...the Herron is getting worse and it saddens me that you cant respond to this animal who is in crisis and dying!!!! Please call us and save this beautiful Bird!

I volunteered with TWC a few years ago, in their wildlife nursery. I only left because my schedule became too tight. I'd go back in a flash if I had the time. Lovely people, excellent facilities, and exceptional commitment to animal welfare.

I tried to rescue a mama squirrel who had an infected abscess on half of her face. When I spoke to a girl on the phone, there was no talks about potentially putting the squirrel to sleep. They didn't even try to give her antibiotics to save her, they said she went blind in that eye and therefore is automatically a non-releasable" animal. I am still devastated as I have been feeding her for 2 years now

Absolutely fantastic.BOOK THIS SCHOOL WORKSHOP!We did both the junior and senior levels, and were impressed with both.Great resources too!

I needed some help with wild baby rabbits I found near my house. The Toronto Wildlife Centre reached back to me in a very timely manner ( even though this is a busy season for them)and provided me with great information and helped me deal with the rabbits in a safe and humane way. They immediately put me at ease about the safety of the rabbits and helped me find a suitable solution that would be the best option for the baby rabbits. i would highly recommend this place for anyone having wildlife questions, concerns or troubles Toronto Wildlife Centre is the best place to contact. DO NOT contact your local animal shelter for wildlife animals they are not equipped to handle wild animals and will most likely euthanize them. Thank you Toronto Wildlife Centre for your help and service.

For people commenting on not being able to reach a person, please listen to the answering machine message that provides detailed instructions. They receive hundreds of calls and don’t have enough people to man the phone lines. When I found an injured pigeon last month, TWC returned my call within a few hours and even stayed past closing to ensure it got prompt medical attention. The staff are absolutely helpful and amazing, and their instructions were very clear. They even gave me a card with the animals ID number to follow up with them. I’m really looking forward to hearing about its recovery and love that they have this option!
