About Us
The Wildlife Center of Texas (a non-profit organization) was formed to meet the increasing need for wildlife assistance in the Greater Houston / Upper Gulf Coast. Each year, thousands of injured, ill or orphaned wild birds and mammals are received by our licensed rehabilitators.
Our mission is to care for injured, ill and orphaned wildlife through rehabilitation, public education, and release. The Wildlife Center cares for 8000 wild animals every year! Volunteers and donations help us meet our mission.
