Napa Wildlife Rescue

Napa Wildlife Rescue is the only organization in Napa County licensed to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured, orphaned, and ill wildlife. When wildlife is harmed by cars, habitat loss, poisoning, window strikes, or other catastrophes, we are often their only chance for survival.

Since 2013, we have cared for more than 18,000 wild animals. In 2025, we treated 1,983 patients representing 120 species, a 39% increase in intakes over the prior year. At the same time, our HAWKline wildlife hotline received more than 2,800 calls from residents seeking guidance on wildlife situations, a 58% increase from 2024.

Our free education program builds compassion and stewardship for the natural world in over 1,200 local elementary students through classroom lessons on wildlife, biodiversity, and coexistence. Through our Barn Owl Maintenance Project, we partner with the agricultural community to support natural rodent control by monitoring and maintaining barn owl nesting boxes.

Increased patients and rising costs have put a strain on our budget, and we are on pace to see even higher intakes this year. Community support makes this lifesaving work possible, ensuring injured and orphaned wildlife receive care while helping keep Napa wild for future generations.
