California Fish and Wildlife issues wildlife rehabilitator permits required to possess injured native wildlife in Anaheim, and unpermitted residents must transport injured animals promptly to a licensed rehabber.
California Code of Regulations Title 14 requires anyone caring for injured or orphaned native wildlife to hold a CDFW Wildlife Rehabilitation permit. Anaheim residents who find injured birds, raptors, opossums, squirrels, or other native species must contact a permitted rehabber such as the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center or Pacific Wildlife Project rather than attempting home care. Possession over 48 hours without transfer is a violation. Coyotes, deer, and apex predators require specialized rehabbers and CDFW notification. Migratory birds also require federal permits. Releasing nonnative or unrehabilitated wildlife is prohibited.
Keeping injured native wildlife without a permit, attempting unauthorized rehabilitation, or releasing nonnative species can result in CDFW citations and confiscation under Title 14 regulations.
