DNR Licensed Bird and Mammal Rehabilitators

Below is a listing of licensed rehabilitators in the Kalamazoo area as of fall 2022. If you have an injured animal, check to see what the rehabber will care for and call them directly. If you live outside the area and have web access, you can go to the Michigan DNR website, which lists all rehabilitators in the state, www.michigandnr.com/dlr/. Also, check the DNR website for an updated list in the Kalamazoo area, as rehabilitators change over time.

For more information about diseases and current avian health issues, view our October 2023 program, Avian Health: Diseases and Parasites of Michigan Birds, presented by DNR Wildlife Pathologist Julie Melotti, MS. Ms. Melotti reviewed various bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, toxins, and trauma that can affect birds in Michigan and what you can do to help.
