Our center, which opened in April 2003, is located at 5401 East Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Austin, Texas, and is a 10 acre wooded tract of land, owned by the Travis Audubon Society. We utilize the facilities located on the property as an emergency care center for wildlife. People who find an injured or orphaned animal, bring it to the Wildlife Rescue Intake Center. The animal will be admitted and undergo a physical examination to determine the problem. It is then treated and stabilized before being sent out to a licensed rehabilitator that specializes in that particular species. Usually the animal stays at the Intake Center only a few hours. Our center is located inside the city limits of Austin, therefore we specialize in urban wildlife and urban wildlife issues. The ever-increasing sprawl of the city creates a diverse set of problems to deal with for Wildlife Rescue.
