Start by watching them, then gradually sniffing hand, feeding (if they're hungry) and rubbing their neck. You will need a lot of patience to befriend one. Wild horses can be brought into your household and used like any other horse. It's found in the pets category in buy mode's sort by function, under miscellaneous. You can buy a mysterious mister gnome to ward wild animals away from your lot. Racoons and deer can be watched and even interacted with. There are a few wild animals in The Sims 3: Pets that do not fall into the pet category. Unfortunately, the collecting skill journal has not been updated to track the number of small animals your Sim has found.

If you find a rare animal there, check back later for a chance at another. There are places in the world that are hotspots. If you want to do this early in a game, you'll have to search the world just as you would for metals, seeds, and bugs. Unlike the cat, this also includes large birds. The second option for finding animals, the Collection helper lifetime reward, has been upgraded with Sims 3: Pets to support tracking of all collectible wildlife. Your Sim can go to those locations for a guaranteed way to pick them up. They can track small birds, and the other types of prey at around level seven in their hunting skill. There are two options that can help you to find wildlife easier. This has no impact on small animals and birds, but does help a lot with stray cats, dogs, and wild horses. This makes them easier to befriend, because you can do things like sniff hand earlier in the relationship with ease. Sims with the new animal lover trait will have a higher success rate when doing certain interactions with animals. Unicorns can be adopted as well, provided you have befriended enough creatures, Sim or animal. You will see racoons and deer in the game, and Sims can adopt wild horses with the riding skill.

These can be found just like collectibles, and are scattered all over the world. Sims can own snakes, lizards, rodents, turtles, and large/small birds. With The Sims 3: Pets, not only do we get the ability to own large animals, but also the small ones we see in the world and at pet stores.
