About Us

Cleo Watts is a wildlife rehabilitator as well as the founder of Cleo's Critter Care in Pasadena.  She works with a network of rehabbers and animal shelters in the greater LA-area. ​

​​

At Cleo’s Critter Care, we save the lives that others can’t.

Traditional wildlife centers do incredible work, but limited business hours and resources mean that infant and neonatal wildlife—the most fragile and demanding patients—are frequently euthanized.

We exist to fill that gap. Operating far beyond the typical 9-to-5, our 100% volunteer-run team provides around-the-clock, species-specific care tailored to the unique needs of newborn wildlife. By taking on the critical, 24/7 cases that other facilities limitations won't allow, we give nature’s newest generation a second chance at life in the wild.

If you find sick, injured or orphaned wildlife, send a TEXT with a photo,

brief description, and location and someone will get back to you.

We provide specialized care for sick, injured, and orphaned small mammals. Our expertise ranges from treating minor injuries, like fractures, to managing severe trauma from car accidents. We specialize in the dedicated care of neonatal and infant wildlife.

Every year countless animals die or suffer irreversible harm because a well-meaning finder didn't get the animal to a wildlife rehabber in time. Give wild animals the best chance of survival. Trust their care to a trained rehabber.

Because wild animals can become stressed by human activity, to provide the highest level of care, our facility is closed to the public and does not allow visitors. Special visits can be arranged in advance for donors dropping off needed supplies. We operate as a wildlife hospital and infant care center, where injured orphaned and recovering native wildlife need a peaceful stress free environment to rest, eat, heal and grow.​ We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to give every animal a second chance.

Please do not contact us with inquiries about euthanasia; our goal is always to save the animal. The vast majority of our intakes, even if injured, are re-released into wildlife. The few who are not eligible are found homes at animal sanctuaries. If you know of or have an animal in need, please do not hesitate to contact us!
