Top Wildlife rescue services in Calabasas, United States

A nest fell off a very tall tree by my house and the bird mom wasn’t around, so I decided to call them for help. They just told me to send them a picture of the birds that they would get back to me within a couple of hours, which they didn’t. Sadly the 4 birds died. 😔

We recently brought a hummingbird here to be rehabilitated. In my conversations with the staff throughout the process, they gave the impression of being knowledgeable and compassionate. I was happy to give them a donation knowing that euthanasia is a possible outcome.

To those who are quite understandably upset to learn that their little critter was euthanized even though it was seemingly on the mend, please keep in mind that it would be inhumane to release an animal back into the wild that cannot make a full recovery, and this center cannot possibly provide a lifelong sanctuary for those that aren't able to.

Many animals are well adapted to hide serious injuries, and I trust that the CWC staff knows better than we do when rehabilitation would possible versus when it would just be prolonging an animal's misery. The fact that they are open and honest about their decisions speaks well of them.

Amazing people! My dog found a baby squirrel in the backyard and brought it to me. I couldn't determine whether or not it was injured so I started making phone calls and was advised to contact the CWC. They helped me out tremendously!

💛💚💙Thank you so much!

They take an injured animals all types of wildlife. I had come across an injured seagull and they took a man with no problem. Also there open on the weekends.

A rescued bird at the LA Zoo was brought here, then was put to sleep by this "wildlife" center. Why? Because the bird was blind? It was not! Change your name to wild death center!

DO NOT BRING ANIMALS HERE. We found a gorgeous acorn woodpecker, she was totally alert, hopping around, scratching & pecking, drinking and pooping. Her wings opened without deformities, but she could not fly. We were assured that she would be rehabbed and released right back to where we found her. And if not- she'd remain at the center. THEY TOTALLY LIED TO US AND THEY KILLED THIS POOR BIRD. SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT READY TO CHECK OUT. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM FOR DONATIONS. DO NOT GO HERE. Should have been suspicious when we saw all the empty cages outside.

We found this woodpecker in Griffith park on Sunday 1/14. She was very alert and alive but could not fly. We brought her to CA Wildlife center thinking that they will help her recover. They even assured us by taking down the address where the bird was found and LIED to us that the bird will either be treated and released back in Griffith Park OR the bird will stay at their center if she could not fly. These were all LIES bc we went back on Thursday 1/18, they told us the woodpecker was euthanized on the same day that she was brought in bc she is blind. the bird was not blind. They didnt even give the bird a chance to recover and killed her.

This is not a rehabilitation center, its a kill shelter for wildlife. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO HELP INJURED ANIMALS. THEY ARE A KILL SHELTER AND JUST MAKE CUTE ANIMAL "RESCUE" VIDEOS SO THEY CAN PUT HEARTWARMING VIDEOS AND ASK FOR DONATIONS. DO NOT DONATE A DIME TO THIS PLACE THAT CLAIMS TO HELP ANIMALS BUT INSTEAD KILL THEM.

it is the most sickening and horrifying feeling knowing that we thought we saved and rescued the little bird when we actually brought her to be killed.

BEWARE: THIS PLACE LIES AND KILLS ANIMALS. DO NOT DONATE, VOLUNTEER OR SUPPORT

Bless the wonderful people that showed up to rescue a bird I found that couldnt move, but was still alive and feisty, on Christmas Eve. Wonderful people, I am so grateful for your time and care for this little guy.
