CUTENESS OVERLOAD! 🥰

First there was one large spotted genet kit … the next day another three little ones arrived … and just when we thought our days and nights were as busy as they could possibly get, along came another two teeny-weeny babies Eyes still tightly closed, with the tiniest traces of their umbilical cords still attached, these two arrived in a cosy little bag from a kitty haven ! (Thanks Brendon 💛)

Our hands are full, but the calls just keep coming in.

The secret wildlife living right alongside us – nesting in our trees, hiding in our gardens and going about their daily lives, often completely unnoticed. You would probably have no idea that they share your living space. What an incredible privilege that is!

Please, let them be! ❤️

This is the time of year when nature unfolds and tiny new wild lives enter the world. Before bringing out the chainsaws and giving your garden its spring haircut, please spare a thought for all the little lives that may be tucked away in those trees and shrubs.

Check before you cut. Look before you clear.

Live alongside nature and embrace all the little wonders it brings. Sharing our space with wildlife is not an inconvenience – it is a privilege. 🌿

🐾 ONWARDS AND UPWARDS, LITTLE GIRL! ❤️
This adorable tiny large-spotted genet kitten was part of a little family living high up in a tree in the heart of Dunkeld. The day before this little girl was found grounded, her mom had been spotted scooting up the tree. Sadly, this precious baby found herself on the ground and in need of urgent help.
Thanks to the quick action of her rescuer and a speedy courier delivery, she was soon safe in the capable hands of our very own gentle giant, Claudius. 🥰

After a thorough physical examination, Claudius estimated this little girl to be around two weeks old. Her sunken eyes and puffy face suggested that she may have gone several days without a feed. The good news is that she is now in Claudius’s personal care, receiving all the love and attention she needs. She is being bottle-fed Royal Canin Babycat Milk , a highly nutritious milk replacer specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of young kittens. She is fed every three hours and, thankfully, is drinking enthusiastically and has a sparkle in her eyes! 🍼💕

She may be tiny, but she has already shown us a wonderful fighting spirit. With warmth, nourishment, and dedicated care, we are hopeful for brighter days ahead.

❤️ WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL?
If you would like to contribute towards her wellbeing, rehabilitation, and recovery, please consider making a donation. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps us provide the specialised care, nutrition, and support that vulnerable little lives like hers need to grow stronger.
Together, we can give this tiny wild soul the best possible chance at a brighter future. 🌿🐾

Onwards and upwards, little girl. You are safe now, and we are rooting for you every step of the way! ❤️

💚 Every rescue begins with hope. Every release is a reason to celebrate.

For the injured, orphaned and displaced wildlife that comes into our care, the journey back to the wild isn't always easy.

It takes time, specialised treatment, proper nutrition, dedicated volunteers and a whole lot of care.

And behind every successful release are people like you, who make our work possible.

Whether it's R50, R100 or a monthly contribution, your generosity helps us give South Africa's precious wildlife the second chances they deserve.

🌿 Help us make more happy endings possible.

Every day, wild animals arrive in our care injured, orphaned or displaced. Each one deserves the chance to recover and return to the wild where they belong.

Behind every rescue is a community of people who care enough to make a difference.

For as little as R50 a month, you can become part of that community, helping us provide food, medical treatment, rehabilitation and a second chance for South Africa's precious wildlife.

Small contributions make a lasting difference, especially when we stand together. 🧡
