The Center for Wildlife is located in Cape Neddick, Maine, near the summit of Mt. Agamenticus, approximately 6 miles from the York exit of I-95. Our mission over the past 20 years has been to rescue, rehabilitate and release birds, small mammals and reptiles back into the wild. Each year, we take in upwards of 1500 sick, injured and orphaned wild animals. The spring and summer months are our busiest as we take in scores of baby birds and mammals of a variety of species. The cases we treat are often the result of human encroachment on wildlife habitat: animals that are hit by cars, caught by cats or dogs, or whose nesting sites have been disturbed by construction. In addition to the direct animal care work we do, we answer hundreds of inquiries from the public and we offer educational programs to local schools and community groups to help build awareness of the species we treat and the habitats they depend upon for survival.
