If You Have a Wildlife Concern:

1. Remain calm & patient; A.S.K. will return your call ASAP.
Please Note: A.S.K. employs ONE volunteer wildlife biologist & ONE wildlife responder & is  
100% volunteer operated. Generally calls are returned within 2 hrs, depending on call
volume & issue.
AVOID placing wildlife in the care of well-meaning individuals without permits; doing so may
relieve you of the animal quicker, but will be putting the animal at risk of not being fed and
cared for properly.
Be patient and wait for a professional to advise you for the animal's sake!

Make Sure Your Concern Really Warrants Human Intervention.
Follow These Guidelines Until You Get Professional Help:




Remember, only State or Federally licensed individuals can care for wildlife in need. In
Michigan, persons have 48 hours to turn injured/orphaned wildlife over to licensed rehabilitators. This
law is for the BENEFIT of wildlife. If you sincerely care about an animal, please do not attempt to care
for it on your own. Common, innocent mistakes can cause death and severe injury.

DID YOU KNOW...


*In Michigan, there have
been zero reported
cases of raccoon strain
rabies

*Bats, for their size, are
the world's longest lived
mammals; females have
low reproductive rates
though, typically having
only one pup per year


*Free-roaming outside
cats cause numerous
bird deaths annually.
Cat saliva is toxic to
birds. Keep cats inside
for their safety and
wildlife's!

*Feeding bread to
waterfowl is detrimental
to their health. Birds may
develop "angel wing", a
nutritional deficiency that
impairs flight and has
the appearance of a
broken wing!

*Trapping "nuisance"
species like woodchucks
will not solve your
problem! More
woodchucks will fill the
place of any removed!
