It's Spring! Click here for important information on bunnies

And don't forget to take down those bird feeders now. We know they look pretty but as it gets warmer
it brings birds together unnaturally and it promotes spreading decease. Feeders  should be out in
winter only then sterilized and put away in the spring.

We're here to help!

Wild animals enrich our lives, we love to watch birds at our feeders, a hawk soar across the sky, or feel a thrill when we catch a glimpse of a deer, fox or raccoon. They help us to stay connected to the natural world.

In the past decade or so, human population and development have grown at an unprecedented rate, and as their habitat shrinks, animals have been forced to share their territory with us.

Every year an increasing number of wild animals are hit by cars, collide with buildings, and are electrocuted, poisoned, caught by pet cats, and suffer all sorts of civilization-related ills.

Utopia Wildlife Rehabilitators, Inc is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing medical care, educational programs, and information about living with our native wildlife.



Right:
At the end of the day this is what it is all about, another successful release.
We are a volunteer, non-profit organization which serves as a resource for wildlife information, education, medical care and rehabilitation in Bartholomew and surrounding counties.

We have state and federal rehabilitation and education permits, and we treat and release over 200 mammals, reptiles and birds of prey annually.


Please help us to help wildlife in need. Your tax deductible donation goes directly toward animal care and education programs here in our local community.
Many people have asked us if there are any items that they may donate to help our wild patients. Here are a few that we use daily when taking care of wild babies.

Chicken baby food
Diaper wipes
Disinfectant wipes
Paper towels
Bleach and other cleaning agents
Old bath towels (no holes or stringy edges)
Vegetable baby food
Rice or oatmeal baby cereal
Wild bird seed (few or no sunflower seeds) mostly millet.

We are constantly building and improving our facility so we can also use larger scale donations of fencing like hardware mesh, pressure treated lumber and plywood. We also are in need of welded wire or chain-link kennel fencing sections. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.

We can’t thank you enough for your interest in our work, and appreciate your help!
