Ohio Wildlife Center operates a free wildlife hospital in central Ohio.  The hospital is open to assist with wildlife health issues Monday-Friday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. If you have a wildlife emergency, please follow the instructions below.  You can also find answers to the most common wildlife questions by calling our monitored Wildlife Information Line at 614-793-WILD or view our Found an Animal? page.  If you have an after-hours wildlife emergency, please follow the instructions below.

**Please Note** Ohio Wildlife Center does not have the capability to pick up injured and orphaned wildlife, and we rely on caring people like you to bring the animal to us.  SCRAM! Wildlife Control is available to transport injured, ill or orphaned animals for a fee, which goes directly to support Ohio Wildlife Center’s nonprofit mission. This service is available by calling 614-763-0696 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

If you have a non-injured, nuisance wild animal in your home or business, please contact SCRAM! Wildlife Control at 614-763-0696, or fill out an online request form for humane removal options.
