Friends of Wildlife 2024 Bottle Baby Workshop is Coming!
Would you like to assist licensed wildlife rehabilitators, in your own home, with orphaned wildlife? This workshop will
cover basic care and nutrition for orphaned, infant small mammals, as well as an introduction to Wildlife Rehabilitation
Regulations and Standards in Michigan. Expanded focus will be on orphaned squirrels, raccoons, and Eastern Cottontail
rabbits. In addition, we will briefly cover other volunteer opportunities that do not require handling or caring for animals
such as fundraising, marketing, event planning/manning, maintaining social media, and answering phones.

Michigan Friends of Wildlife: Rescue, Rehabilitation, Release
Who We Are
Friends of Wildlife is a wildlife rehabilitation organization based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
What We Do
Our licensed rehabilitators are volunteers who care for injured and orphaned wild animals until they are able to be released back into their native habitats.
What should you do if you find an orphaned or injured animal?
- Look for signs that the baby animal is truly orphaned.
- Wear gloves to protect yourself and the animal.
- Take the animal to a dark, warm, quiet place and wrap him in a blanket or towel.
- Call our Animal Hotline (see box on right) for the specific animal to reach an on-call Friends of Wildlife rehabber.
- Do not attempt to feed the animal anything - including food, milk or water.
- Wait to hear from the Friends of Wildlife rehabber before taking any further action.
