Tips
Injured or Orphaned?
If you have an injured or orphaned animal in your possession, please keep it in a dark, quiet, secure box or crate and do not offer any food or water.
Before You Enter
If you are bringing a raccoon, coyote, bobcat, otter, or fawn to the Wildlife Medical Clinic, we ask that you please leave the animal in your vehicle until you have spoken to a staff member so our team can transport the animal safely into the clinic.

What We Do
The University of Illinois Wildlife Medical Clinic is a student‑volunteer-run clinic treating >2,000 wildlife patients annually, with a primary goal of release back to the wild. Permanently non-releasable patients may become educational ambassadors at partner institutions.
As a non-profit organization, we depend on fundraising, donations, and grants. The College of Veterinary Medicine provides the clinic space, utilities, and faculty veterinarians, but all other costs are the responsibility of the Wildlife Medical Clinic.
Volunteers provide the majority of the animal care, and most of the volunteers are veterinary students in their first three years of the curriculum.
