We’re still in with a chance at saving the mob of kangaroos in Kinley, Lilydale and need your help! Please email Kate Gavens at the Office of the Conservation Regulator, [email protected], urging her to consider the path of a non-lethal relocation! #kinleymob #animaljustice

A wonderful person called Judith sent this little poster. All the well wishes that have come in over last few weeks have given us renewed strength, especially when things are tough and faced with major hurdles. Deepest Gratitude to all our supporters & donors from near & far x
An uplifting moment from the fireground. Happy to see healthy and well fed #kangaroos and wallabies in #Mallacoota
Say hello to our modern day super heroes!
@AnimalsAus @action4ifaw @Vets_Compassion what a team! For support or donations please visit our website vetsforcompassion.org
VFC @AnimalsAus @action4ifaw & Army Vets working together! Hope, the joey came in yesterday, recumbent and in shock. Thought we were going to lose her. She’s 6.5kg should be 10. Today she can stand and is eating so while we’re not out of the woods that’s a little win!
The fires maybe out but our carers Sarah Wildlife rescuer and her daughter Holly are caring for a little Joey in Cooma, where they have been volunteering for many weeks. Thank you so very much to the dedicated volunteers!
Vinnie, his little sister Felicia & parents ran a cake stall at his local rugby club in the UK. They created a #crowdfunding crowdfunding page for #vetsforcompassion. "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." ~ Dalai Lama
VFC #volunteer vet Dr Alison Brown, was on the ground last week at #MosswoodWildlifeRescue in Koriot, treating the MANY sick and injured #koalas that were transferred from the #Portland / Cape Bridgewater site.
The number of #koalas rescued from #CapeBridgwater in Portland was astounding. All those needing care and treatment were transferred to local wildlife carer Tracey at #MosswoodWildlifeRescue in ##Koriot and her amazing team of volunteer carers. Thanks to everyone that assisted!
A special mention to #PortlandFootballClub who kindly donated their facilities to ensure the volunteers could get the koala mix made in mass production! Thank you to everyone involved that donated blankets, towels, pouches, Teddy's, food supplies & time. Such a huge team effort!

On becoming aware of this situation on Friday, we flew in a veterinary team from @Vets_Compassion. A second vet team was flown in to assist with the treatment of surviving animals yesterday.
