Do not handle any bat that you have found or allow children to come in contact with it. If you do, the bat will have to be destroyed so that it can be tested for rabies.
There is no charge for animal care, but your donation will be used to house, medicate, and feed the animals in our care. See menu item "How You Can Help" above for more information.
We do not take domestic rabbits, domestic ducks, nor dogs and cats. Due to state regulations, we cannot take the following animals:
adult deer, raccoons, and coyotes.

Nature's Nursery Center for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation Education
is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization located in Whitehouse, Ohio.
The Center was incorporated in 1989 and was founded by a former Education Curator of the Toledo Zoo. The Center is licensed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and United States Fish & Wildlife, and the staff has successfully completed both Basic and Advanced Skills training offered by the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association.

Our mission is to improve the well-being of Northwest Ohio wildlife populations and habitat through public education and rehabilitation of injured, ailing, and orphaned wildlife with emphasis on coexistence.
