SPONSOR A RESCUE

Sponsor a rescue and help us support licensed carers pay for their species specific milk formula, supplementary feed, bedding and medical needs. It costs an average of $2000 to raise one healthy joey for kangaroos and wombats this is around 2 years. If the joey has medical issues or injuries costs can increase significantly. Possums, turtles and lizards are the second long care animals.
And we also look after birds that usually require short term care

Vehicle Strike Abandoned​

Lillith is an eastern grey kangaroo joey that was abandoned after her mum was hit and injured by a vehicle. Mum got up and hopped away leaving her joey. The kind member of public that witnessed the accident tried looking for mum for hours but to no avail. Lillith is a quiet joey that goes crazy for her milk, as soon as she sees it the excitement level is out of the world!  

Fifi

Eastern Grey Kangaroo
Fence Hanger​

Fifi was found tangled in a barbed wire fence with both legs, it looks as though she had only just started coming out of the pouch to test her legs. Unfortunately both legs were severely cut and she was given vet treatment and stitches. It was hoped that she could be reunited with her mum after a few days but there was some nerve damage to her toes which she is getting daily stretches and physio for

Sponsor the Kangaroo mob​​

All of our kangaroos are soft released and planned in advance as a progressive release with support feed and medical assistance, this is especially required in the current environmental conditions. Each animal is different psychologically and needs different levels of support. Due to the long drought and now bushfires there is no food left for our wildlife and we now have to support feed as the forest slowly regrows and recovers  ​

Wombats

Lennie
$25/month or $250 annual
​Car Accident Orphan

Little Lennie was found this morning in Werai when his mum was killed on the road out front of a rural home. Kind resident Deb checked the pouch and found this little guy inside. He was brought to us by carer Emma for assessment. He has some ticks but no injuries thankfully. Lennie is named after his rescuer's pop who passed a few months ago. Once he grows up she would like him to be released back on his home range which will be about 2 years in care
