Nestled now in 5 acres of natural woodland in the southeast corner of Campbell Valley Regional Park in South Langley, British Columbia.

Critter Care Wildlife Society receives, rehabilitates and releases back to the wild injured and orphaned mammals native to British Columbia. These include deer, raccoons, coyotes, skunks, flying squirrels, Douglas squirrels, gray squirrels, opossums, beaver, rabbits, marmots and bears. We also have a resident, non-releasable bobcat.

As encroaching urbanization displaces more and more native wildlife from their natural habitats, there are an increasing number of incidents where animals are accidentally or maliciously injured, or where babies become permanently separated from their mothers. Human intervention and automobiles account for the vast majority of these incidents. Unless rescued, these animals suffer a cruel death.

Critter Care Wildlife Society believes these injured and orphaned native mammals deserve a second chance for survival. Animals that arrive at our Rehabilitation Centre are provided with veterinary care and are nursed back to health by our dedicated volunteers for subsequent relocation. The orphaned babies are housed at the Centre or placed in the homes of our trained caregivers for anywhere up to one year prior to release into remote woodland areas. Critter Care is therefore very proud to say that, since 1992, it has successfully rehabilitated and released over 6000 native mammals.

Critter Care is the only organization in BC's Lower Mainland able to accommodate this large number of mammals. Our specialized services are held in high regard by peer organizations, such as the SPCA, OWL and Wildlife Rescue, all of whom refer the vast majority of mammals they receive directly to Critter Care.

We have a vigorous Internship Program and each year receive university students or graduates from around the world who spend 6 weeks or more in a hands-on learning environment. Many other volunteers spend countless hours applying for grants and working on various fundraising activities to keep the Society financially viable.

Critter Care is not government funded in any way but must rely solely on the generosity of the general public. Even though the majority of our workers are volunteers, raising mammals is a very expensive and time-consuming endeavour.
