Point Cook Wildlife Care Inc

Due to the death of a cherished family member, until further notice Point Cook Wildlife Care is unavailable to assist in animal rescues - if you cannot safely contain an injured animal and drop it to your nearest vet clinic (you will not be charged for this) then please call Wildlife Victoria 84007300 for assistance. Thank you for understanding.

So here we are again PCWC friends - it’s “Five-a on a Friday” time just ‘cos we thought “Thousand dollar Thursday” seemed a tad unreasonable 😂😉
Below are just some of the folks we have in care and have had in care over the last few months. We’ve commented before that swans are a little expensive and we’ve had eight through this financial year and still have four of those. Cygnets take 4-6 months to get them to release point depending on the individual and they are constant grazers so we have to supplement with leafy greens. Probably our fault if you’ve rocked up to the shops and found nothing left on the lettuce shelf - sorry ‘bout that 😳
We also want to be in a position to help some carers who are keen to come on board with some DELWP compliant aviary’s as well as consumables. Not to mention we are looking at revamping our aviary situation so we get a bit more of the backyard back for our four legged kids who live here too - a bit of a redesign if you will, making better use of the space using existing and new materials and hopefully having enough to put in a proper pond system for our waterbirds.
We definitely want to thank all our regular donors who have kept the bank account ticking over but the account is looking a little bare so if you can spare some change - gold metal or coloured plastic that would be great 😊❤️
We have several options for donation of course:
Best Friends have a donation box on the registers there at the Town Centre.
Bendigo Bank details are:

*We always like to make people aware that the tax rules are such that those of us who only perform wildlife rehabiliation and care are not eligible for DGR status so we cannot issue receipts. ATO - any time you want to change that to make it easier for us to care for native wildlife that would be terrific.

Little update - the wayward cygnet is currently enjoying the company of Crackles, so of course the wayward chap is Pop, just missing Snap!! If we can get this Pop back to parents that would be great though! pic added😊
Howdy all - need some eyes on the water down at Waterhaven Blvd. MRU have been put rying to find a family of swans in order to reunite a little one with the family but no joy. So those folks living in the area - can you firstly confirm for us that there is a family of swans in the vicinity at Waterhaven Estate and secondly if you’re out wandering around today and you spot them can you let us onow where they are. We are running out of time to get this cygnet back with the family safely - the parents are likely to reject the cygnet should we get delayed much longer. Your eyes as always greatly appreciated 😊❤️

FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS - we both tested positive for Covid yesterday so here is advice for the next seven days regarding assistance for injured or orphaned wildlife.
If you can safely catch the animal please drop to the nearest vet clinic open - there is no charge to you to drop wildlife into a vet clinic.
If you cannot catch the animal please call Wildlife Victoria 84007300 and they will put a callout for the nearest available rescuer.
Thanks for understanding 😊
