I found an animal. What do I do?

Choose the situation that matches yours. Each guide gives calm, practical steps. If you are unsure or need hands-on help, send us a request at the bottom of this page.

Is the animal bleeding heavily, not breathing well, unconscious or having seizures?
Go to the nearest veterinary clinic now. Cover it with a towel, keep it warm, and do not give food, water or human medicine.
