WWCC is capable of rehabilitating over 1000 animals at a time. We reponded to local emergencies including fire victims and unusual mortality events with seabirds.WWCC is a primary participant-managed facility with the Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) and is designed to care for up to 400 oiled birds in the event of an oil spill in Southern California.Our 2,625 square-foot Butler building contains areas for bird intake, holding, washing, drying, and recovery, as well as a series of six large and four small pens with pools for bird recovery.Under the supervision and authority of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, abandoned Western Snowy Plover eggs are captive reared at our facility and then released into the wild. The Western Snowy Plover is a threatened/endangered species.WWCC is 1 of only 2 permitted Hummingbird rehabilitation facilities in all of Orange County, CA. More than 600 Hummingbirds come in annually with a release rate higher than the national average. With intensive training and oversight by our species specialists, qualified volunteers provide home care for Hummingbirds. Through telephone counseling, we educate the public about trying first to re-nest or reunite fledglings rather than rescuing them when they might not need to be rescued.In the spring of 2024 WWCC took in 260 starving pelicans. The warming ocean water near the surface has caused the fish to swim deeper than the pelicans can dive after. Once a pelican is stabilized, it costs WWCC $45 per day to feed it. Educational/Outreach - The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center participates and hosts many educational and community events (on and off-site) each year, provides online educational materials, educates the public about wildlife via social media and telephone counseling for wildlife related issues and more. In collaboration with the Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy, our fun and educational tours visit the Interpretive Center and the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center which is a working animal hospital for wildlife. 815360 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 22 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X X Diane Taylor 7143745587 21900 Pacific Coast Highway Huntington Beach CA 92646 Debra McGuire Executive Dir. 60.00 0.00 X X 91845 0 0 Elizabeth Wood Chairman 25.00 0.00 X X 82955 0 0 Tom Gaccione Treasurer 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kelly Porter Secretary 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ann McCarthy Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dave Guido Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrea Takla Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Dietz-Kumar DVM Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kieth Matassa Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 174800 0 false false false 0 30350 904108 934458 Government Contracts 713990 107533 107533 Services Revenue 107533 1819 1819 0 0 0 167780 171745 -3965 -3965 -3965 0 0 0 0 1039845 103568 1819 0 0 0 0 174800 174800 0 300415 300415 0 0 38924 38924 0 0 15597 15597 0 8250 8250 580 580 6210 6210 1519 1519 18863 7811 11052 169 169 0 127185 123886 3299 88 88 0 0 0 0 2629 2629 33762 29245 4517 Feed 71105 71105 Medical supplies 49154 49154 Fundraising Expense 12346 12346 Non medical supplies 10144 10144 19487 7247 12240 891227 815360 55271 20596 49328 252086 58534 254418 0 0 0 0 0 2105 2105 0 378901 215577 159642 163324 113869 0 0 0 0 154760 14923 538238 686856 300 300 300 300 X 537938 686556 537938 686556 538238 686856 148618 X false false false X 358103 1204964 609526 587466 934458 3694517 0 0 358103 1204964 609526 587466 934458 3694517 0 3694517 21 31 7486 -2151 5387 224 224 0 3700128 0.99850 0.99720 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 173378 15539 157839 38311 32826 5485 167212 167212 163324 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
