wildlife food
fund
In the last financial year WIRES received over 200,000 calls to our 1300 number, including over 197,000 requests for wildlife rescue advice and assistance. Hundreds of animals are always in care, with Spring and Summer being the busiest months. In October 2024 we received 26,399 calls for help.
The cost to feed different animals in care varies greatly from species to species, food types, brands and across all different ages. WIRES spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on food for wildlife annually. In years with major national disasters, it is even higher.
WIRES provide 100% food subsidies for approved foods for WIRES volunteers and supports thousands of carers nationally with wildlife food costs. WIRES also provides immediate disaster relief nationally that includes essential food support to carers and groups impacted by wildlife emergency events.
All gifts to WIRES Food Fund are 100% directed to supporting the cost of wildlife food for native animals being rehabilitated.
Please donate generously today to support the care of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.
WIRES is a registered Australian charity that has been supporting Australian wildlife for almost 40 years. All gifts to WIRES $2 and over are tax-deductible within Australia.
