NC Wildlife Rehab (NCWR) is evolving with fresh ideas and a renewed mission to help native wildlife and support fellow wildlife rehabilitators.

With 45 years of combined experience, NCWR will be led by Ruby Davis, a wildlife biologist/environmental scientist and the state’s first licensed RVS rehabilitator, and Dr. Laura Lathan, a veterinarian with 30 years of experience, including 15 years working with wildlife. Both are dedicated to caring for wildlife and supporting the rehabilitator community.

NCWR primarily accepts trauma patients and specific species that they specialize in, and offers advanced medical care like mobile x-rays, surgeries and integrative therapies. We also extend mentorship and resources to fellow rehabilitators.

Operated entirely by volunteers and funded by donations, NCWR and other rehabbers work out of passion, not for recognition. Our goal is to care for wildlife, support each other, and educate the public.

In 2025, we’ll also highlight the hard work of other rehabilitators and organizations, sharing their stories and encouraging support for their efforts. Together, we can make a difference for our wildlife!
