Help us look after sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.
Welcome to Cuan Wildlife Rescue
Shropshire’s only wildlife rescue centre
We rescue, care for and rehabilitate sick, injured and orphaned wild animals and birds. Then we release them back into the wild.
Each year we admit and treat around 6,000 creatures and need to raise £540,000 for day-to-day running costs. Please help us by donating time, money or items from our wishlist.
If you’ve seen an injured wild animal or bird, call us for advice on 01952 728070 or visit our contact page.

Cuan Wildlife Rescue
Cuan Wildlife is a wildlife rescue centre where we take in sick, injured or orphaned wild animals and birds, with the aim of nursing them back to health. We regularly admit over 6,000 animals & birds in one year.
Once fully recovered, great emphasis is placed on returning them to the wild - in most cases, this means back to the area from where they came, where they may have a mate waiting, or where, at least, they will be familiar with their territory or hunting ground.
Cuan Wildlife rescue is a registered Charity which is dependant on donations from the public and businesses.

BARN OWLETS! 🦉🦉❤️
At the start of September these two barn owlets (Tyto alba) came into our care after being found grounded and a nest unable to be located. Both were thin and weak. Now they are looking like fully grown barn owls and are not far off being released back to the wild! 🌳
We are currently are very low on a number of items we use daily, such as:
• Carny kitten food
• Dried mealworm/calciworms
• Dronsit cat spot on treatment
• Puppy pads
• Small and large bird grit
• Safe4 disinfectant
• Amazon giftcards (for us to buy live insects and other items we need at short notice)
And a variety of other items that can be found on our amazon wishlist!
If you are able to help you can find all these items over on our amazon wishlist via the link below. These can also be purchased elsewhere, such as local retailers like Cambers, CJ Wildlife and local pet shops, and sent/brought in to us at the rescue centre. Or dropped off at our Sainsbury's collection bins in both Shrewsbury (Meole Brace) or Telford (Forge).

As always, thank you all for your support. Without you we couldn't help the number of animals we do every year!
Please share! ❤️

If you love wildlife, you’ll know how much pleasure can be had from seeing animals and birds – whether it’s spotting a timid creature in the undergrowth or watching the birds feeding in your garden. This pleasure lasts a lifetime, and once time has run its course, leaving a legacy in your Will or donating on behalf of a loved one is a great way to give something back.
Remembering Cuan Wildlife Rescue in your Will is a meaningful way to help us continue our work rescuing sick and injured wildlife, rearing orphans and returning them to the wild. It also helps us protect British wildlife for generations to come. We are a registered charity and receive no government funding. Every donation, no matter how small, really does make a difference.
We've partnered with FreeWills.co.uk to provide all our supporters with the opportunity to make their own fully comprehensive Will for free. You can make your personalised Will online in three simple steps, from the comfort of your own home and with live support from their Will specialists. Each Will is checked, vetted and approved by a solicitor and your Will can be updated quickly and easily for free, forever.
There is no obligation to leave a gift to us, but we do hope you do so to enable us to continue our important work.
By making a Will you can ensure that your wishes, and the people and causes you care about, are provided for. After providing for your family and friends, remembering us in your Will means that we will be able to carry on rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing British wildlife. By leaving a gift to Cuan Wildlife Rescue in your Will you can shape the future, ensuring that we are always here for British wildlife. It will not cost you a penny during your lifetime. It is simple to do and free from inheritance tax.

Thank you so much to an amazing group of volunteers from @kuehnenagel.global who are based at MOD Donnington in Telford - who came along to us on Tuesday and spent the day working incredibly hard, cleaning, scrubbing and painting some of our outdoor aviaries. This now means that all of our aviaries are "winter ready" - we hope that they will last for this season before we need to start replacing some of them within the next year. Your hard work was very much appreciated. Our rescue centre relies heavily on the generosity and kindness of supporters in all shapes and forms - whether that be by volunteering, donations of goods/raffle prizes/feeds/medical supplies etc, as well as monetary donations - our rescue centre can only continue to work helping British wildlife because of you! 🥰
