Our Intake Center
Our Intake Center
The center is open for animal intake from 10:15 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every day except Sundays, when we are closed. Click on the map for directions. Due to federal and state regulations regardng the care of wildlife, our intake center is not open to the public for tours. However, we do offer many educational opportunities at our visitor’s center (camps, birthday parties, educational presentations) which can be scheduled by appointment by emailing ftwl.education@gmail.com. Our visitor’s center and education center is also open to the public on special occasions for our Critter Classroom, please check our Facebook Page (click here) or call us during open hours .During those special days, you will see some of our educational animal ambassadors (opossum, owls, turtles, snake, and/or hawk), view our educational displays, enjoy some hands-on exploring, and make a fun craft to take home.
If you find an orphaned or injured animal, please call us at 281-259-0039 in advance to make sure we are open and prepared to help. We may be closed on certain major holidays, or we may be at capacity for certain species, so calling in advance to be sure we can accept the animal is kindly requested. Due to state and local regulations, we ask that you please speak with one of our representatives before bringing any rabies-vector species animals to our center (bats, skunks, raccoons, coyotes, or foxes), these animals require specialized handling and specific paperwork, so we kindly ask that you respect this policy to assure that we are ready to assist you when they arrive.
The only way we can keep our doors open is through your generous support, so donations are gratefully accepted and very much appreciated.
Our center functions as an intake facility where animals are admitted, triaged, and treated. While some animals with minor injuries stay at the center, most animals are placed with one of our many diverse and dedicated home-based permitted rehabilitators. We feel the animals can get the very best individualized care in this manner until they can be released back into the wild.
