RSPCA Mallydams Wood

RSPCA Mallydams Wood is an RSPCA-run wildlife rehabilitation and education centre (not a general pet veterinary practice). It focuses on taking in injured or vulnerable wildlife—specifically wild mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians—with the aim (as described by reviewers) of treatment and eventual release back into the wild. In recent reviews, people describe staff collecting an injured young pigeon within an hour after a call, accepting an injured baby pheasant brought in by an owner, and providing an update days later that the bird was recovering. Reviews also mention volunteer opportunities for suitable applicants.
