About Turtle Pond

Turtle Pond Wildlife Centre is a dedicated wildlife rehabilitation organization committed to treating and releasing injured and orphaned wild animals. Founded in 2017 and located in Val Caron, Ontario, the Centre proudly provides comprehensive care to wildlife from across Northern Ontario.

Our Mission

Dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and care

Over 1,100 wild animals received care at Turtle Pond in 2024. Our regular intakes include reptiles, birds, and mammals who are often brought to us by caring members of the public. Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers provide around the clock care to patients, adapting to their unique dietary and medical needs.

We are proud that many of our patients are successfully released back into their natural environment, helping to sustain local wildlife populations.

Where we Serve

Near and far

As the the sole authorized wildlife rehabilitation centre serving roughly 130,000 square kilometres of Northeastern Ontario, we provide lifesaving assistance to animals from as far away as Kenora, Timmins, Manitoulin Island, Killarney and North Bay.

Help us save wildlife today

Turtle Pond Wildlife Centre relies on the generosity of the public to help fund the care of injured and orphaned wildlife. We receive no government funding and our work is sustained by donations.
