Tucson Wildlife Center provides lifesaving care to nearly 4,000 wild animals each year. Every day, it takes close to $4,500 for food, medicine, veterinary treatment, and supplies to meet their needs. TWC services are available 24/7, 365 days a year, free of charge to residents of Tucson and Southern Arizona. All of this is accomplished with only donations and grants, as TWC receives no state or federal funding of any kind.
Sadly, most wildlife injuries and orphaning are caused by human activity. With the community’s support, Tucson Wildlife Center can give these vulnerable, voiceless animals the care and second chance they deserve.
