ABOUT PROCYON WILDLIFE
Our Name: Procyon, pronounced "PRO-see-on", is derived from the Greek word meaning “before the dog”. Procyonid is the name of a small family of mammals that includes Raccoons, Coati Mundis, and Kinkajous. The biological name for Raccoons is Procyon lotor. Procyon Wildlife was so named because we initially only rescued and rehabilitated orphaned raccoons. Though we now accept all species of mammals native to Ontario, orphaned raccoons still make up the majority of animals brought to our facility each year.
Our Mission: Procyon Wildlife is dedicated to working with our communities in an effort to help wild animals in need of care. Our goals are to rescue, rehabilitate and safely release these animals, and to promote public appreciation for wildlife preservation.
Procyon Wildlife is provincially licensed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and is located in Beeton, Ontario. Compassionate members of local and surrounding communities bring needy animals they have found to our facility for care. Each year, Procyon Wildlife cares for hundreds of orphaned and injured wild animals. Animals are cared for by veterinarian, Dr. Cynthia Post and our trained staff of dedicated volunteers. The animals are released into their original natural habitats as soon as they are healthy and able to fend for themselves.
Our facility includes:
- a veterinary hospital to provide medical and surgical care to sick and injured animals
- nurseries for raising infants until they are old enough to release
- outdoor enclosures where animals are transitioned back into their natural, wild environment
- a learning centre where children and community groups can learn about wild animals and see wildlife rehabilitation in progress
