Vets for Compassion โ€“ Mobile First Responders

Vets for Compassion is not a traditional veterinary clinic and does not operate from a fixed location or building. Instead, we are a mobile team of dedicated veterinarians and volunteers who provide care wherever it is neededโ€”whether in the field, at rescue sites, or in partnership with existing facilities. Our Role:
โœ” We provide immediate veterinary assistance to animals in crisis.
โœ” We respond to emergencies with expert care.
โœ– We are not transporters. Our rescue number is 0407 984 594. If you require animal transport, please contact Wildlife Victoria at (03) 8400 7300. Our mission is to ensure expert care reaches those who need it mostโ€”without the constraints of a physical clinic.

Koalas are on the move right now. It's breeding season, and they're travelling further than usual to find a mate, which means crossing more roads. ๐Ÿจ

On the Calder Freeway through Macedon and Woodend, we are seeing koalas hit by traffic moving at 100km/h or more, and drivers rarely see them in time. Some can be treated and returned home. Too many can't.

Something as simple as a flashing warning sign could change that. There's a petition to the Victorian Parliament asking for electronic signs in known koala hotspots during breeding season, so drivers know to slow down when it matters most.

If you're in Victoria, please sign and share. The link is in the comments.

And whenever you're driving through bush areas, especially around dawn and dusk, take it slow. It could save a life. ๐Ÿ’š

Then and now ๐Ÿ’š Last year, a tiny goat kid was found tied up and alone outside a building on Moore Street, Southbank. Not exactly where you would expect to find a goat.

Kind-hearted locals spotted her and acted fast. Alone and vulnerable on a busy city street, this little one needed urgent care. One of our vets, Dr Alistair, stepped in straight away and got her to safety.

In those early days, Holly was thin, scraggly and nervous around people and other animals, slowly finding her confidence one day at a time.

But look at her now! Holly has found a loving home at a sanctuary in country Victoria, where she spends her days alongside kid goats, pigs, horses, dogs and cats. She has gained weight, her coat is glossy, and she is thriving.

Goats are curious, intelligent animals who feel joy, fear and love. Every one of them deserves a second chance like this.

If you can no longer care for an animal, please never leave them behind. There is always a kinder path: reach out to a shelter, or surrender them somewhere safe.

๐Ÿ Thank you to the caring locals who refused to walk past, and to our vet team for bringing Holly home.
