Do NOT expect rehabbers to:
- Always be able to collect the animal
- Answer the phone 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
- Be able to take in all animal species – read the ‘specialisation’ notes beside their contact details
Do ALWAYS:
- Be polite, respectful and appreciative
- Offer to help with the rescue in some way
- Think about making a donation!
Please remember the rehabbers listed below are nearly all unpaid individuals caring for injured wildlife in a back-garden situation whilst juggling jobs and families.
