Broadbent Wildlife Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in Kentucky whose mission is to rescue sick, injured and orphaned wildlife throughout the state.  Our staff works 365 days a year to provide care to wildlife in need, with the goal of rehabilitation and release back into their native environment.  Our full time staff, including a veterinarian and state and federally-licensed wildlife rehabilitators, provide medical treatment as well as loving supportive care to over 3,000 animals each year.  Hundreds of wildlife babies are raised in our nursery and released each year.  Broadbent also serves as a safe haven and a lifelong home for abandoned or abused exotic birds and other former pets, including monkeys, emus, donkeys and many more.  One of our main priorities is educating children and adults to co-exist with wildlife and to respect all animals.  Plans for an on-site educational center are underway.
