Exciting Improvements at Procyon!

Procyon needs your help more than ever! With the COVID-19 crisis, we are asking people not to bring animals to the centre without calling first.

This means we need help from people to operate our phone lines from the safety of their home.

THE HOURS we need for telephone service are
Monday through to Sunday:     
8:00am-2:00pm or 2:00pm-8:00pm

If you or someone you know might have a few extra hours per day to answer our hotline phones, please contact us at info@procyonwildlife.com

We will provide remote telephone training.

Donation of Cat Trees Provide Enrichment to our Wildlife Winter Residents

We just got a donation of cat trees for our animals in care so we put them in all our large enclosures. Looks like the opossums are having fun. It provides good enrichment. Thank you, they love them!

Although we are currently in a province lock-down, Procyon remains open as an essential service but with a skeleton staff.

If you encounter a sick, injured or orphaned wild animal, we are still accepting animals, however please call first at 905-729-0033 and leave a message.  

A volunteer will return your call ASAP and will complete the admitting form over the phone with you.

You will be given a phone number to call upon your arrival with strict instructions to be followed. Please follow them and do not come directly to the front door.

Thank you. Procyon Wildlife.
