Rehabilitation & Sanctuary – Kendalia

The main Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation sanctuary and rehabilitation facilities are located on 212 wooded acres near Kendalia in the Texas Hill Country, about fifty miles from both San Antonio and Austin. There are six ponds, two creeks, and the Little Blanco River on the property. The topography of the land is diverse and enclosure areas were chosen according to the specific needs of the species who would live in them.

The large cats have tree-studded enclosures and their own rocky bluff. Farmed animals have spacious pastures and ponds. Primates have shrubbery, oak, juniper, hackberry trees, and deep grass in each of their habitats. Parrots and other nonnative birds’ homes are fifty-foot-long flights constructed of stainless-steel mesh connected to a heated building for the cold winters. The bears have a two-acre home that overlooks the pig and goat pastures. In short, all animals in sanctuary live in spacious natural enclosures tailored to species-specific needs.

Much of the 212 acres is left in a natural state for the native species of wildlife who were living here when we acquired the land. We built a 5,000-square-foot Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital, a 3,000-square-foot Nutrition Center, a 3,000 square-foot Veterinary Clinic, a large maintenance building, and renovated several small buildings on the property that are now used for administration offices, animal receiving, animal enrichment, hay barns, and related needs.
