Before
Citizens like you and me give their time towards EWC and the work we do. A banker and assistant AD of ECU University could be at the beach instead of here on a warm Saturday, but devotion to scouting and their sons had them at EWC instead.

ALLIGATOR well that was the call from a nursing home, He was running up the balcony. Spot now lives in Mark Ansleys Office.
We get all kinds of animals left by college students when they leave for home. Water Monitors, Iguanas, Bearded Lizards, Parrots, Cockatiels. The publis think they are all wild animals so we try to find homes for them. These big Iguanas are a handfull and can hurt you with there claws but hey what are you going to do they need a life too!
This web site is not here to win prizes, its a month by month site of wildlife rehabilitation in eastern NC. We will strive to keep it current with our admissions and Im sure some will be sad. Our charter is to help Licensed Rehabilitators with their own cases, with supplies and outdoor release sites. EWC belevies it is the only center that allows non members to use their facilities, food and knowledge without a hassle.
BOBCAT KITTEN EWC got a call on a baby bobcat brought up by a dog. Although they are not rare around the Eastern Coastal areas of NC , It is unusual to get a kitten and live to tell about it. Momma must have died because no dog could take a kitten from a den period. Poor thing was very emaciated, and covered in ticks and fleas. Although, Marti gave very supportive care and meds, it was a down hill battle as the shock and body just shut down. Here below is a cleaned kit that was held for 12 hours given supportive fluids and meds but EWC could not save it. Even at this age a healthy kit is a scary snarling handfull.
Balck Bear, the ONLY animal no rehabber in NC, can rehabilitate. (except our friend Dana Sims) After all theres only a few hundred down here , no need for help from us, right? NCWRC better get on top of this quick. EWC can see a yearling being ,cage wise, fairly expensive, but a cub the size of most dogs, can easily be cared for. Its done all over the country.
Mark Ansley President 2007
" I would like to encourage anyone who can, to help wildlife in NC. Most people don't realize the state
offers no support for the rehabilitation of native species. It is up to us, the public, to see that the same
compassion we show for dogs and cats, filters over into the beauty of nature. NC is a rich state
in species of wildlife, it is our duty to provide medical, and rehabilitation to these animals. Do we make
a difference in populations? Of course not, we do it because they will die without it, I certainly cannot
just leave it alone when I know I can save it for another day on earth.
