Jack the Joey is being cared for at Bluebush Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation in Western Australia. The sanctuary has been absolutely overwhelmed with joeys just like him that were hurt and abandoned in the bushfires.
Their native habitat will take up to ten years to recover from the bushfires, so Jack and the other joeys will likely live most of their lives at the 500-hectare Bluebush sanctuary, but caring for them is expensive.
Thanks to many generous SPCA International supporters, SPCA International was able to give Bluebush a grant for Jack’s recovery as well as important infrastructure like water tanks and fencing. We caught the announcement on video so we could share it with you.
Thanks to every single person who donated for Australia these joeys will have long and happy lives free of further pain and trauma.
