A wildlife hospital in a southeastern Paris suburb cares for injured, sick and orphaned animals that are often affected by human activity and urbanization.
Last week, a fox cub was rescued after being found alone in a garden.
The Wildlife Veterinary Hospital in Maisons-Alfort admitted over 10,400 wild animals last year, aiming to return them to the wild.
Caretakers avoid imprinting — measures that attach the animals to their caregiver long-term — to ensure successful reintroduction into their natural habitat.
The hospital treats a wide range of species — some 86% of its patients are birds — and relies on volunteers and donations.
