The Oshkosh Area Humane Society (OAHS) is holding a low-cost vaccination and microchip clinic on Sunday, April 2, from 10 am to 1 pm. If your cat or dog needs vaccination updates now is the time to do it! This is for Cats and Dogs only. The clinic is for vaccinations and microchips only and all clinics are held at the Oshkosh Area Humane Society, 1925 Shelter Ct., Oshkosh, WI. Wild animals are usually best left to themselves, especially baby bunnies. It is not typical for a mother to abandon their babies. Many mothers only visit the nest of their young during certain times of the day - typically dawn and dusk.

The Oshkosh Area Humane Society does not rehabilitate wildlife but may be able to direct you to another resource. If you believe a wild animal is injured or in need of assistance and you aren't sure what to do please refer to the list of Wisconsin wildlife rehabilitators and contact them starting with ones closest to your area.
