SPCA Wildlife Center Rescuing Pelicans

The SPCA Monterey County Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center is rescuing pelicans in distress across our county, from Big Sur to Monterey and even as far inland as Greenfield. The pelicans are all thin to emaciated and unable to fly.

We currently have eleven surviving pelicans in our care, with many more calls coming in.

If you see a pelican, or any animal, in distress please contact us. We are here to help, thanks to your support.

Pelicans in need of rescue are being found all along the California coast. Wildlife rescue groups including SPCA Monterey County are investigating the cause while continuing to rescue pelicans in distress. Thank you for helping us be here for them.

The SPCA Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center is the only full service wildlife rehabilitation center serving Monterey County. We operate under permits from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Your support is extremely important to us, as we do not receive funding from any federal, state or local government agency. Each year, The SPCA Wildlife Center admits over 2,500 animals for treatment and care.

SPCA Monterey County is your nonprofit, independent, donor-supported humane society that has been serving the animals and people of Monterey County since 1905. The SPCA is not a chapter of any other agency and does not have a parent organization. They shelter homeless, neglected and abused pets and livestock, and provide humane education and countless other services to the community. They are the local agency you call to investigate animal cruelty, rescue and rehabilitate injured wildlife, and aid domestic animals in distress.
