Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center provides compassionate care to sick, injured, and orphaned wild birds and mammals Statewide for the purposes of release and education.
Our vision is to reduce suffering for all animals, wild and in captivity, and to educate people so they may be responsible animal and environmental caretakers and stewards. Our wish is that no wild bird or small mammal in need of care will be turned away from EWRC.
We founded EWRC because we felt could do a better job caring for animals by sharing knowledge, experience, and facilities. EWRC moved from Littleton to Ellicott, Colorado, in order to have space needed to properly care for animals. Organized and incorporated in May 2002, EWRC received IRS nonprofit status in May 2003. We have been able to add steadily to our outdoor facilities, despite severe financial constraints, along with the increasing need for animal rehabilitation.

Founder and president of Ellicott Wildlife, Donna Ralph has published several books. “Critter Chronicles” includes poignant stories of the critters that have needed the help and care of the rehabilitators of the Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Her latest book “Beginning Wildlife Rehab” will help you decide if becoming a wildlife rehabilitator is right for you.
A portion of the proceeds from each purchase goes to help support EWRC. You can order your copy of these books from:
