Peterborough’s parks, the Nene Valley and the green space that runs right through the city mean wildlife and people live closer together here than in most towns. Cambridgeshire WIRE takes in injured and orphaned animals from Peterborough and the surrounding area, from hedgehogs turning up in gardens to birds that have come off worse in a busy city.
What we do
- Emergency care for injured wildlife, from traffic collisions to cat or dog attacks
- Hand rearing for orphaned birds and mammals
- Ethical, welfare led treatment from experienced carers
- Release back into the wild close to where the animal was found, wherever possible
Every animal is treated by the same team, using the same approach, whether they’re found in Peterborough itself or one of the surrounding villages. Read more about how we work on our Wildlife Rehabilitation page.
