Key West Wildlife Center is a rehabilitative animal shelter and care facility located within the island's seven-acre Sonny McCoy Indigenous Park, open to the public for free Thursdays through Tuesdays during normal business hours. The state and federally-permitted wildlife rehabilitation center accepts native wildlife on an ongoing basis, with a clinic on site to provide treatment to sick and injured animals, including special programs for sea turtle and tortoise rehabilitation. A nature trail is offered for visitor exploration and observation of animals and migratory birds, featuring a freshwater pond and two aviary facilities. Picnic tables are available, along with a covered pavilion area. Visitors should note that although the attraction is free to enter, suggested donations are strongly recommended to help fund ongoing rehabilitation operations.
