Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre
28/03/24 update
Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre is currently admitting all garden birds, orphaned, injured and sick. We can also take in certain birds of prey and corvids. ALL mammals are accepted
We are not accepting waterfowl (except very young ducklings, cygnets and goslings), seabirds and some higher risk species due to the increased threat of avian flu, however we have and continue to make plans to future proof ourselves and we are hoping that APHA will downgrade the country wide status to low soon, which means we will be able to take in all birds once again. Which will be very welcome news to the wildlife team!
It is important that wildlife centres take these precautions to keep our staff and other animals in care safe. Please call our national call centre on 0300 123 4999 if you have come across an injured, orphaned or sick animal.
Coronavirus update
Please be midful of our staff and if you have a cough / covid symptoms when delivering a wildlife casaulty please wear a facemask.
Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre
Stapeley Grange is one of four RSPCA wildlife centres based in England that supports the rehabilitation of sick, injured, orphaned and confiscated wildlife.
We admit animals from south of the Scottish Border to south of Birmingham, into North Wales and across to Lincolnshire. In 2019 we received over 6,000 admissions, including wildlife, exotic and domestic casualties. Due to Covid 19 and Avian Flu numbers are lower than normal.

Bringing in wildlife (currently under AI restrictions on high risk species)
We are open 8am - 8pm, 365 days a year (8am-5pm on Chrsitmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day)
If you discover an orphaned wild animal always seek advice before disturbing it.
However, if a wild animal has truly been abandoned or injured, then we can help. Please call ahead for advice on 0300 123 0722 so that we can advise and arrange for you to bring the animal in.
Wildlife Courses (postponed until Autumn 2024)
The Stapeley team will be running face to face wildlife courses for those involved in wildlife rehabilitation later in the year. We will also be running wildlife webinars for vets and vet nurses so please keep an eye on our facebook page for more information.
