The Peace River Wildlife Center 1990 – 1999

Peace River Wildlife Center (PRWC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit wildlife rehabilitation and education center tucked neatly into the mangroves overlooking Charlotte Harbor at Ponce de Leon Park in Punta Gorda Isles, Florida. The Center and our gift shop are open to the public for tours every day from 11a – 4p, and our hospital accepts wildlife intakes from 8a – 5p every day, seven days per week, 365 days per year, including all holidays. We do not charge an admission fee, but donations are greatly appreciated and needed to support our mission. Your donations and gift store purchases go directly to the care of our wildlife patients and residents. The PRWC does not receive any federal government support. The costs involved in maintaining these educational displays and feeding over 80 permanent residents and more than 2,500 patient admissions annually are over $90,000 per year. All of the Peace River Wildlife Center’s expenses are met through your donations, our recycling program, gift shop sales, and small grants. PRWC’s mission is carried out primarily by volunteers.

Feeding Bob cats
The Florida bobcat (Lynx rufus floridanus) is a native, medium-sized predator found statewide in forests, swamps, and suburban areas. About twice the size of a housecat, they are identified by their short "bobbed" tail, spotted reddish-brown coat, and tufted ears.
