Star Foundation
Table of Contents
STAR Foundation is an Long Island non-profit 501(c)(3) volunteer organization, dedicated to the welfare of domestic and wild animals.
Our goal is to provide a safe haven for every injured or orphaned Long Island animal in need of medical care, rehabilitation, or humane euthanasia, and to return as many healthy animals as possible to their natural habitat.
They offer advice on how to manage wild animals in the attic, in garbage receptacles, and how to handle an injured animal. If we think an animal needs medical attention, we provide instructions about containing and transporting it, and give the location of the nearest veterinarian.
If the animal is large or dangerous, we try to send a trained volunteer if necessary. People that find orphaned babies are referred to licensed rehabilitation specialists from a state issued list. Veterinarians can call us for species identification, natural behavior, and diet for their wild patients. We make every attempt to find permanent placement for disabled animals that can be used in educational programs.
