Wildlife Rehabilitators Association of Rhode Island WRARI is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization formed in 1995 for the purpose of providing education for and fostering communication among the Wildlife Rehabilitation community and the public.

WRARI assists established rehabilitators in learning more about caring for wild animals while also providing training for people who wish to learn to work as rehabilitators.

WRARI also raises funds in order to purchase supplies for rehabilitators such as milk replacers, animal food, drugs and other medical supplies, as well as veterinary care. The Board of Directors is made up of a veterinarian, licensed rehabilitators and concerned citizens.

WRARI also operates a wildlife hospital in N. Kingstown, Rhode Island.
