The Wildlife Center of Texas is preparing for the aftermath of the heavy rain and flooding that may take a toll on our native Texas wildlife. The Wildlife Center of Texas has already seen an increase in baby doves, songbirds and ground dwelling mammals due to the storms.??

If you find injured or orphaned wildlife at any time, put it in a box with soft rags, keep it as warm as possible, and place it in a quiet dark place.? Do not attempt to give it any food or water.? Take the animal to The Wildlife Center of Texas as soon as possible.

The Wildlife Center of Texas is the region?s largest wildlife hospital and rehabilitation center and is open 7 days a week to care for any injured, ill or orphaned wildlife.? They are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accept wild animals in need, including victims from the recent storms. They are located in the Heights next to the Houston SPCA at 7007 Old Katy Road.? Log onto their website for more information at www.wildlifecenteroftexas.org or call them at 713-861-9453.

In addition, the Wildlife Center of Texas desperately needs donations of dry cat and dog food to help feed the storm victims until they are ready to be released back into the wild.
