Cuan Wildlife Rescue is a registered charity dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned wild animals and birds. We are the only wildlife rescue centre in Shropshire to offer a round-the-clock service.
As well as our day-to-day work looking after the county’s wild creatures, we also aim to:
*Educate of the public in the care and rehabilitation of wildlife
*Undertake research and advise other organisations in the field of wildlife
rehabilitation
The charity started in 1990 and has grown steadily over the years, with purpose-built facilities to meet the needs of any wildlife casualty that may come into our care.
Each year we admit and treat around 6,000 creatures and need to raise £358,000 for day-to-day running costs. On admission, every patient receives immediate first aid such as pain relief, treatment for shock, fluid therapy, wound management or antibiotics. Some then have further veterinary treatment.
The dedication and commitment to treating the many different species of wildlife we bring them ensures seriously injured creatures have the best possible chance of recovery.
Once they’re well enough, the creatures we look after are always returned to the wild. Adults, particularly, will be released where they were found – they may have a mate waiting and will be returned to familiar territory.
Our primary goal is always to give the creatures a second chance at life.
