Please fill out our online Request for Assistance Form; using this form and uploading photos helps us assess your situation more quickly.

Assistance Request Form

Otherwise, call our Wildlife Hotline at (416) 631-0662 and leave a message with your questions. Please note that during the busiest times of year (usually April-October), we may not be able to return non-urgent calls.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) website also has a lot of great information about some of our wild neighbours.
