Since 2002, Nutmeg Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation has been a home-based, non-profit, organization dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned wild animals in Connecticut. We hold our permit through the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

The goal of wildlife rehabilitation is to provide professional care to sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals so they ultimately can be returned to their natural habitat.

The need for wildlife rehabilitation is urgent and ongoing. Animals arrive with broken bones, severe infections, starvation, hypothermia, or simply too young to survive on their own. As fully volunteer-run rehabilitators, we do everything we can but the costs of care are immense.

Your donations provide medical treatment, nutritious food, specialized formula, warm housing, and safe outdoor habitats. They allow us to expand, improve, and adapt so we can say yes when the next animal needs help.

This work exists only because of supporters like you.

Without you, none of these second chances would be possible
