We are also fully licensed and insured to offer rescue services for native wildlife, including bats, reptiles, macropods, possums/gliders and birds. We area a registered Charity with A

We aim to Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release, Rehome and Repeat; whilst standing strongly for quality over quantity. Provide appropriate husbandry for unwanted, neglected and abandoned captive bred reptiles and birds in accordance with the Native Conservation Act 1992
2. Seek suitable homes for surrendered captive bred reptiles and birds, whilst ensuring suitable homes have appropriate knowledge and licensing. In the event that a suitable home cannot be found, to offer sanctuary to the animals in our care to live out their lives without fear of euthanasia or neglect.
3. To provide prompt and adequate veterinary treatment for all animals in our care.
4. To provide education, training and workshops to both members and general public regarding native fauna and the correct husbandry of reptiles and birds.
5. In recognition of the limited local services available, to rescue, rehabilitate and release sick, injured and orphaned native fauna as required, in accordance with the Native Conservation Act 1992.

🐍🦜🌺ADOPTIONS🌺🦜🐍
When available we offer adoptions of surrendered/rescued captive bred (permitted) reptiles, and birds. We are no kill = quality over quantity. This is NOT a first in best dressed situation. Potential new homes are screened and successfully applicants are decided amongst our board members. All animals are only available if certain conditions are met:
🔅Correct and current licensing
🔅Suitable enclosure and proven knowledge on species
All animals are independently veterinary checked and treated. We beleive and stand by quality over quanity. Meaning we beleive that any animal should have quality to life over quantity.

🦘🌺WILDLIFE RESCUE & REHABILITATION🌺🦘
All wildlife is handled and cared for in accordance with the Native Conservation Act 1992 and Bio Security; the ultimate goal being to scuessfully rehabilitate and release to natural habitats. We are fully licensed and trained to handle and rehabilitate native wildlife. Our services for wildlife include; 🦇Bats (flying foxes and micros), 🦘Macropods (wallabies & kangaroos), Possums & Gliders, 🦜Birds and 🐍Reptiles. We cater for all of Cairns, Tablelands and Innisfail.

🦇🦇IF YOU FIND A BAT ALONE, INJURED OR ON THE GROUND DO NOT TOUCH IT, CALL 0499453674 or 0484848657 ASAP.🦇🦇

Australian bats all have a small chance of having Lyssavirus. Lyssavirus has no cure, though is easily preventable by not touching any bat. It is only transferable through a bite or scratch. Its very simple- NO TOUCH = NO HARM. We are fully vaccinated against Lyssavirus, licensed and trained to handle and rehabilitate bats. Please if you find an injured or orphaned native animal call asap.
‼️It is illegal to keep native fauna if you are not trained and licensed to do so. They also require specialised diet and care. Your good intentions to care for them yourself can be a death sentence to the animal.‼️

🐍🦎🌺REPTILE REMOVAL & RELOCATION🌺🦎🐍
🦇🦎🐍🐢Wildlife removal and relocation begins at $50 and may increase pending species, location and requirements. 🦎🐍🐢🦇

🚨It is illegal to remove and relocate a native animal in Australia, unless you have the correct permits issued by the Department of Enviromental Sciences. We are fully licensed to perform such removals and relocations.🚨

We do NOT receive government assistance, all veterinary expences, species specialized equipement (milk, teats, enclosures etc) and emergemcy equipment is supplied privately or by the support of local community businesses and persons.

One of the most misunderstood mammals world wide… the bat.

Keystone for our environment, highly social and emotional mammals, unfortunately misrepresented by media hype.

Are you aware that research indicates that ABLV (Australian Bat Lyssavirus) is present in less than 1% of all free-living bats, this virus kills the host. So, that less than 1% can not get greater. Also, you can only get ABLV through contact with the saliva or neural tissue of an infected bat, NOT from their urine or f***s.

Bats should only be handled by trained and vaccinated rescuers.

This gorgeous young girl came in late last night after a member of the public found her. We assume she must be a first flyer, they seem to always get themselves into trouble.
Unfortunately for this soul we had to have her euthanised due to a severely broken wing.

3 babies over the last 36hrs… unfortunately all due to their mums dieing from car strikes.

PLEASE slow down, and stop… or at the very least call them in if you hit them.

All 3 of these babies were not called in after their mums were hit. It was the grace of a random coming upon a deceased animal, that stopped and checked… is the only reason they were found in-time to rescue

Due to localised flooding, a lot of our rescuers and carers are unable to attend.
Please be patient, we will return calls and attend to rescues.

For the time being, where safe to do so drop wildlife to your local vet. It is free to do so, and gives us a chance to organise collection when the vets call.

WILDLIFE & HEAT STRESS

☀️On hot days you may see tree-dwelling or nocturnal animals such as possums or koalas wandering around on the ground in search of a cooler spot or water.
☀️Birds may pant with their mouths open and hold their wings out from their body in an attempt to cool down.
☀️Flying foxes are particularly prone to heat
stress. They typically flap their wings and move down lower in the trees to escape heat from direct sunlight.
☀️Kangaroos and Wallabies can show signs of lethargy, reluctance to move, salivating, and lying down without quickly moving away when startled.
☀️Reptiles will seek refuge in cool, dark places such as under bushes, burrows, or rocks.

If you see any wildlife experiencing heat stress you should contact your closest wildlife rescue group and follow their directions. Attempting to capture or handle wildlife may put them under additional stress and you could injure them. They may also bite or scratch you.

To assist in preventing heat stress in your own yard you can:

1️⃣ Provide Water: Place shallow water containers around your yard, ensuring they are clean and water is changed daily.

2️⃣ Escape Ramps: Place sticks or stones in water containers to provide escape routes for smaller animals that may fall in.

3️⃣ Pools and Skimmer Boxes: Check pools and skimmer boxes twice a day for wildlife that may have fallen in. Provide a tethered rope or platform as a means of escape.

4️⃣ Reptile Assistance: Position water containers along the fence line to provide water for reptiles. This will not only hydrate them but also deter them from approaching houses.

5️⃣ Flying-fox Assistance: On very hot days, if you find a flying-fox on the ground or entangled in netting, call WILDLIFE RESCUE immediately for help.

6️⃣ Protect Pets: Keep cats and dogs indoors to prevent them from preying on vulnerable wildlife.

7️⃣ Shade: Offer shade for distressed animals with garden umbrellas or other covers. This helps prevent further heat stress.

8️⃣ Mist or Sprinkler: Gently mist distressed animals or place a nearby sprinkler to help cool them down. (This should not be done directly on the animal, sprinkler should be near by; and only done under direction ow wildlife rescue).

He is home 😍 Huge thank you to our amazing rescue team, widebayvetsurgery and their amazing vet and nurse Tatum and Nicola, and finally Australia Zoo wildlife hospital.

Dedication and love… our carers are amazing! #galah #eolophusroseicapilla

Found alone and underweight, this wee man luckily found himself in care. He is an adult Eastern long-eared bat (Nyctophilus bifax), also known as a ‘evening bat’. ‼️WE ARE FULLY VACCINATED AND TRAINED TO WORK WITH BATS. DO NOT HANDLE. NO TOUCH = NO HARM‼️ 🦇 listen with noise on… it’s adorable lol 🦇

The difference correct care, patience, and perseverance can achieve. The mumma Brushtail Possum, whom was suffering from head trauma 💕

Huge thank you to the beautiful family who called in this mumma. The cause of her condition is still unknown, after a thorougher assessment no injuries were found (vet verified), we are moving forward under the assumption that she has sustained head trauma. We are hopeful that we may see some improvement with mum over the next 72 hours. Currently in care with our amazing possum coordinator, we are all hoping that mum and bub will be able to be released together in time 💕
