NJ Fish and Wildlife issues Wildlife Rehabilitation Permits to individuals and organizations that are professionally trained to hold, care for, and rehabilitate native wildlife in New Jersey. It is unlawful for individuals without a valid Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit to possess injured, orphaned, or ill wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal of wildlife rehabilitation is to release native wildlife back into their natural habitats. Wildlife rehabilitators are trained to evaluate wildlife emergencies and determine whether human intervention is necessary, as many factors, such as health, safety, and biological issues such as disease, parasites, and the effects of interfering with and\/or relocating wildlife, must be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators in NJ Locator<\/strong><\/a> <\/i> consolidates licensed rehabilitator information and directs the public to an appropriate facility to expedite the delivery of wildlife in need. It is essential to first contact your local animal control officer or a licensed wildlife rehabilitator as facilities may have limited intake capacity or require appointments. If a situation requires rehabilitation, a reporting individual will be instructed on the appropriate course of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Becoming and continuing as a permitted wildlife rehabilitator in New Jersey is a major responsibility and requires much time and dedication. To ensure the health and safety of both the public and wildlife, NJFW has specific requirements and standards for facilities and staff involved in wildlife rehabilitation. NJFW has implemented these standards to ensure the quality of the permittee (through questionnaires) and the facility (through inspections).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individuals interested in becoming a licensed wildlife rehabilitator should first read the \u201cPermit Information\u201d and \u201cNJFW Rehabilitator Requirements\u201d documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Use of these specific forms is not required, but all information contained in these forms must be recorded at your facility.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rabies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The following are rabies-related links to information posted by the NJ Department of Health, Communicable Disease Service<\/a> <\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For assistance with rabies situations or to report a suspected rabid animal, contact the Health Officer for the jurisdiction where the incident occurred.<\/a> <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chronic Wasting Disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n White-nose Syndrome <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n NJ Fish and Wildlife issues Wildlife Rehabilitation Permits to individuals and organizations that are professionally trained to hold, care for, and rehabilitate native wildlife in New Jersey.
