We Need Fencing Staples!

Tarcombe Animal Shelter is slowly rebuilding our enclosures following the fires. Unfortunately, many of the fence posts were lost, but thankfully much of the wire survived.

After countless volunteer hours, the new poles and corner assemblies are finally in place. Now comes the old-fashioned hard work — hammering in staples!

For this first enclosure alone, we need to install around 1,500 fencing staples, with many more enclosures still to come.

We're seeking donations of fencing staples that are:
✔ Minimum 4cm long
✔ 4mm gauge

If you're able to help, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact us or get in touch with Robyn Coy .

Every donation helps us get one step closer to providing safe and secure homes for the animals in our care.

Thank you for your support! ❤️

Today we visited Matilda, the mobile vet truck at Wildlife Recovery Australia —and it turned out to be far more confronting than we expected.

While picking up a Cockatoo, the team decided to do an X-ray. Shockingly, it revealed he had been shot with an air rifle—something you’d never know just by looking at him.

Thanks to the incredible skill and care of the specialist vets, the pellet was successfully removed. He’s now stitched up and on the road to recovery.

It’s heartbreaking to see what our wildlife can endure, but also inspiring to witness the dedication of the people working tirelessly to give them a second chance. Hoping this resilient boy makes a full recovery and can return to where he belongs 💛
