We accept animals from across the entire State of Colorado, including overflow from other wildlife rehabilitators and wildlife rehab centers.

We provide direct hands-on care to the animals, and take great care to ensure the animals are set up for sucess on their release back to nature. Trained volunteers assist with wildlife transport. Veterinarians donate time and services to treat animals. Our success/release rate averages about 96%, exceeding the national average of 40%.  We are currently an all-volunteer organization. Growth necessitates the addition of regular professional staff in order to continue to grow and serve our community.  Wildlife and environmental educational and outreach programs continue to grow.  We promote responsible stewardship of our environment and the creatures we share it with, via educational programs in our community. We encourage care and consideration of companion animals as, and act as a referral for people who need help with their particular situation with an emphasis on spay/neuter, realistic adoption, and adoption from shelters. ****Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is an all-volunteer organization committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of wild birds and animals into their natural habitat, with a commitment to education. We're at a crossroads now and need your help. The closure of Wild BIRD of Denver has impacted us, nearly doubling our annual wild bird intake, and as a small, all-volunteer org, we need major funding for staffing and facilities to continue our work beyond 2016. ******
