WildCare Foundation is Oklahoma's largest and oldest wildlife rehabilitation center, admitting over 7,000 injured, ill, and orphaned wild animals each year, giving them a second chance at life in the wild. WildCare is also a leading voice for wildlife advocacy in the state through it's hotline, educational programming, and public awareness efforts.

Training the next generation of wildlife biologists, rehabilitators, veterinary technicians, and veterinarians, we host 15 fellows and a dozen veterinary students each year with many more students or mid-career professionals shadowing rehabilitation and hospital staff.
