for
THE WILDLIFE WAYSTATION
Nestled in the hills
of the Angeles National Forest, we are one of the oldest non-profit sanctuaries
in the nation. Since our inception in
1965, we have provided rescue, rehabilitation, release and permanent shelter to
over 76,000 animals.
They want to meet you.

HELP US OPEN OUR DOORS!
The Wildlife
Waystation is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and providing permanent
shelter for native wild and exotic animals. The refuge is a seven
day-a-week operation, providing our animals with everything from veterinary
care in a fully staffed Health Center, specialized diets, proper enclosures,
nurturing and daily enrichment. Many of
our animals were rescued from deplorable conditions, or came from private
owners; others were, confiscated, abandoned, orphaned, came from the
entertainment industry or were released from the inhumane confines of medical
research laboratories. Native wild
animals with permanent injuries who were unable to be released back into the
wild were also given a permanent home.
The Wildlife Waystation’s primary
purpose is to accept all animals in need and currently has over 40 species as
permanent residents. Education is also an important part of its mission. Once open, we can also serve as an
educational oasis for school children, communities and environmental
enthusiasts alike--we just need your help to open our doors!
With
your help, we can raise the necessary funds to be able to invite visitors like
you up to meet our wonderful animals.
