#GivingTuesday

A rescued animal's second chance begins with a nourishing meal.

Your gift today will help us provide specialist foods for the rising numbers of native animals urgently needing our care.

A rescued animal's second chance begins with a nourishing meal.

Your gift today will help us provide specialist foods for the rising numbers of native animals urgently needing our care.

In the past year, our rescue calls
for wildlife have risen to over 174,000...

Not all those animals end up in care, but for those that do, being provided with specialist, highly nutritious foods will make all the difference to their life in the wild.

There are over 100 specialist items on the food list for WIRES volunteers, and every single one makes a world of difference to the native animal that needs it!

From blossom nectar for gliders, mung beans for bandicoots, right through to critical care formula for endangered koalas; the gift you give today will help us provide lifesaving nutrition and care for thousands of rescued native animals over the coming year.

This is how you’ll help feed hungry wildlife in care

The numbers continue to rise

This year our wildlife food costs rose to $600,000, a 20% increase on the year before. At the same time, urgent calls into WIRES continued to climb, reaching an all-time high of 174,000 native animals needing our help over the past year.

We already know next year will be higher. This October, we received over 44,746 calls for wildlife – more than we've ever experienced in a single month before. Please give generously. Your gifts this season will make sure we can continue providing lifesaving care and sustenance for the thousands of desperate animals who'll need our help in the months to come.
