Mission
RAPTOR Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of birds of prey via rehabilitation, education, research and community service. We hold the proper state and federal permits that allow us to rehabilitate over 300 birds of prey annually and deliver over 350 educational presentations each year at schools, libraries, senior centers, and other community events. We strive to cultivate respect for nature, inspire conservation action in our community, and protect raptor habitat.
We could not accomplish our mission without the generous contributions of our Attending Veterinarians:
- Dr. Bob Dahlhausen – Avian and Exotic Medical Center
- Dr. DJ Haeussler – The Animal Eye Institute
- Dr. Peter Hill – Pet Care Animal Hospital
- Dr. Vanessa Kuonen Cavens – MedVet Cincinnati
