I'm writing this review because I've had NO help from Toronto Wildlife Centre on TWO separate occasions where my husband and I have tried to save an injured animal. The first was newborn baby squirrel which we found on the ground under a tree in our backyard. The squirrel was alive. We could see no nest in either tree near the squirrel.We called Toronto Wildlife Centre and they told us to care for the squirrel ourselves as they could not accept it.Take it inside and feed it. ??? We had a cat and jobs that would not permit us the look after the animal as they suggested. They then said to call Toronto Animal Services who would take the squirrel from us but not save it. How upsetting is that? Next time was a week ago. We had just returned home and saw an injured female cardinal in our backyard hopping with one wing obviously damaged. We called Toronto Wildlife Centre. Their machine said to leave a detailed message and someone would get back to us within an hour, but we were not to come to the Centre with the bird until they contacted us. We capured the bird and put her in a cardboard box as requested. Then we waited. No return call. Called again. Went online and filled out the form and attached a picture of the injured bird. Waited. Nothing. Checked no the bird. Bird was dead. How extremely upsetting! If we'd taken the bird to the Centre immediately it would have been alive upon receipt and might have survived! Having no one call back was extremely upsetting. What wildlife DOES this Centre help?
