If you are referring to baby animals that are abandoned by their mothers, they are usually called "orphans" or referred to as orphaned. Once it is clear the mother either, isn't capable of raising the baby, or will not raise it, then usually the keepers will take over the responsibility of hand rearing the baby. If you are referring to the animals that are sometimes abandoned at the zoo, they are often referred to as the unwanted, or abused. Most are in poor health and in need of serious medical care. After they recover, if there isn't a place for them at the zoo, they will normally be moved to another zoo or a shelter.
