Operation Wildlife: Providing Compassionate Care to Injured and Orphaned Wild Animals
Operation Wildlife is a non-profit organization that provides rehabilitation and veterinary services to injured and orphaned wild animals in the Kansas City metro and surrounding area. The organization was founded in 1988 by a group of dedicated volunteers who recognized the need for a wildlife rehabilitation center in the region.
Since its inception, Operation Wildlife has been committed to providing compassionate care to wild animals that are injured or orphaned due to human activities such as habitat destruction, vehicle collisions, pet attacks, and illegal hunting. The organization's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release these animals back into their natural habitats.
The team at Operation Wildlife comprises licensed wildlife rehabilitators, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, interns, volunteers, and staff members who work tirelessly around the clock to provide medical care and support for these animals. They have extensive knowledge of animal behavior and physiology which enables them to provide specialized care for each species they treat.
The facility at Operation Wildlife is equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment such as X-ray machines, surgical suites with anesthesia machines & monitoring equipment. This allows them to perform surgeries on injured animals when necessary. They also have an intensive care unit (ICU) where critically ill or injured patients receive round-the-clock monitoring.
Operation Wildlife provides treatment for various species of wild animals including birds of prey like hawks & owls; mammals like raccoons & squirrels; reptiles like snakes & turtles; amphibians like frogs & salamanders; songbirds like robins & blue jays among others. The organization also offers educational programs aimed at raising awareness about wildlife conservation issues among local communities.
In addition to providing medical treatment for sick or injured wildlife patients brought into their facility by concerned citizens or animal control officers from nearby cities/counties - Operation Wildlife also responds promptly when called upon by emergency services personnel (police/firefighters) who encounter distressed wildlife while on duty.
The team at Operation Wildlife works closely with other organizations such as Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks & Tourism (KDWPT), Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), US Fish And WildLife Service(USFWS), local animal control agencies among others -to ensure that all rescued animals receive appropriate permits/licenses before being released back into their natural habitats.
Operation Wildlife relies heavily on donations from individuals/organizations within the community it serves- since it receives no government funding- so every dollar counts towards helping save more lives!
