We are not adverse to moving out of Oakland in order to save the wildlife center. We do need to stay in the Oakland/Berkeley/Alameda area to continue to do our good work here.
To advocate us moving to Alameda, please visit this website for the contact information of Alameda’s mayor and city council: http://www.ci.alameda.ca.us/gov/city_council.html
To advocate us moving to the Berkeley area, please contact the Mayor and City Council at: http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/ContentDisplay.aspx?id=22466
Do you think it is a good idea for us to establish our wildlife rehabilitation & education center in the regional parks? Perhaps near the Little Farm, at the old “pony rides” stables that have been empty and unused for the last 20+ years? If you said yes, please write a letter to the East Bay Regional Park District and tell them so. Feel free to email us for content suggestions. Thank you!

Thank you for your support. Together, we can SAVE OUR WILDLIFE CENTER!
This 9-week-old raccoon Tiny Tim’s rear legs are paralyzed from a spinal injury. Our own “Rancho Raccoon” Team is arranging for Tim to undergo spinal surgery. If successful and he recovers his mobility, he’ll be released to the wild when full grown!
Thank you for your support!

We received our first wildlife patient for the 2010 year. A gray fox was stuck in a live trap for 4 days. Aside from some scrapes and bruises and a very empty tummy, he is fine and will be released in a few days, following a little fattening up.
If he looks sinister it is because I accidentally woke him up taking this photo. He will be with us a couple more days to fatten up and recover from his four day starvation diet.
