California Wildlife Center is a nonprofit veterinary organization that provides full-term medical care and rehabilitation for native wildlife, including terrestrial, avian, and marine mammals. It operates across Los Angeles, Orange, and Southern Ventura Counties and is the only licensed facility providing marine mammal response in northern Los Angeles County. The center works with federal, state, and local wildlife agencies and offers direct services at no charge to the public through collaborations with agencies such as California State Parks, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Based in Malibu, California, the organization functions within the veterinary services sector as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a small to mid-sized staff. It serves as a vital resource for authorities and the general public, relying on partnerships including the Oiled Wildlife Care Network to support its mission. In October 2024, longtime Executive Director Brent left the organization to join the Sacramento SPCA after eight years in the role, indicating a leadership transition.
