important reminders
Before You Contact Us
Our rehabilitator works from home, so we are not a 24/7 service.
Please remain mindful of the following information before contacting us.
Facility Closed to the Public
Our facility is closed to the general public so our patients can heal in a stress-free environment. Visits for supply-dropping donors can be arranged in advance.
Never Abandon an Animal
Unscheduled drop-offs are strictly prohibited.
You must wait for explicit authorization and instructions from our staff before bringing an animal.
Limited Pickup Services
We have very limited volunteers, meaning we cannot guarantee wildlife pickup. We ask that finders make every effort to safely transport the animal to us when instructed.
Admission Subject to Capacity
We specialize in certain species and must limit intakes based on current capacity and state permit regulations.
Thank you for your support and understanding!

about us
Cleo Watts is a wildlife rehabilitator and the founder of Cleo's Critter Care in Pasadena.
Our team is 100% volunteer-run and 100% donation-based. We provide specialized care for sick, injured, and orphaned small mammals. Our expertise ranges from treating minor injuries, like fractures, to managing severe trauma from car accidents. We specialize in the dedicated care of neonatal and infant wildlife.
What we do
Rescue
We provide rapid intervention and safe transport for sick, injured, and orphaned native small wildlife throughout the greater Los Angeles area, coordinating closely with local finders, shelters, and animal control.
Rehab
We provide specialized intensive veterinary treatments, from around-the-clock bottle-feedings to trauma care, so vulnerable wildlife can safely heal and grow. Whether recovery takes a few days or several months, we put our patients first.
Release
Our ultimate goal is freedom. We return fully recovered, self-sufficient wildlife back into their natural habitats, or find permanent placement at licensed sanctuaries for those who cannot survive in the wild.
we need your help!
We’ve outgrown our current den. To meet the rising demand for wildlife rescue, we are raising funds to secure a permanent home for Cleo's Critter Care. Help us plant roots so that our local orphaned and injured wildlife always have a place to recover and thrive.
