WFFT Wildlife Hospital

The WFFT Wildlife Hospital is the first-ever wildlife hospital in Thailand, constructed in 2005. Our hospital treats hundreds of wild animals each year, but we are also open to the public for their pets and livestock. There are full-time veterinarians and vet nurses employed at our wildlife hospital.

Our hospital serves three main purposes:

    • To undertake rescue operations of neglected and abused wildlife all over Thailand, and to provide emergency medical treatment, and long-term care and rehabilitation.
    • To provide lifelong veterinary care for animals that cannot be returned to the wild.
    • To provide health care to local pets and animals to help our local community.

A donation from you today will help treat and provide essential care to injured, sick and abused wildlife. Furthermore, we also welcome hospital volunteers to assist with all duties in and around the hospital, including cleaning and animal treatments. Read more below.
