Same again this year

Just a heads up, there have been quite a few koala, drop bear and Fuzzy Butt sightings in the areas around warburton ( hardware at the back and on the road near the bakery)
Millgrove, river rd and Yarra Junction near the Lolly shop/Shade and Staples.
For the most part they are going about their normal business getting from tree to tree, so please just be aware and if necessary, as many have done, give them some protection as they cross the roads.

🏠 Can you help us find a home base?

Vets for Compassion is a volunteer-driven, veterinary-led organisation rescuing and treating wildlife, farm animals, and companion animals across Victoria and we're growing!

In our entire history, we have never had a premises of any kind and do not have the funds to rent. Our volunteers work out of their homes and cars, and as a result our supplies and equipment are spread in pieces right across Melbourne, making it difficult to restock and adequately supply our team when animals need us most.

We are looking for a space around the Chadstone area that would include:

🐾 A warehouse space to store our large assets including our trailer, triage van, and medical supplies
🐾 A small office for our team
🐾 A meeting room for training and coordination

If you are a business or know someone who might be able to help, we would love to hear from you. This would directly support life-saving animal care across Victoria!

📩 Please get in touch at [email protected] if you can help or know someone who can. Thank you!

Hello, just a heads up with the current fuel crisis and affecting everyone we may not be as mobile as we would like to be.
We are a self funded volunteer group and all costs are our own and not everyone can afford to keep filling the tank.
Appreciate your understanding.take care and stay safe🦘
