A Second Chance for Joey the Kangaroo

When locals in South Australia found a young kangaroo orphaned after its mother was hit by a car, they quickly reached out to Wildlife SA for help. Our rescue team responded immediately, carefully bringing the joey into our care.

With the support of volunteers and donations from the community, Joey was provided with special formula, a handmade pouch for comfort, and medical care. Over the weeks, he slowly gained strength and began to hop around with confidence.

Stories like Joey’s highlight why Wildlife SA’s work is so important. Every rescue requires quick action, resources, and a dedicated team of carers. Thanks to our supporters, Joey now has a second chance at life.

👉 How you can help: Donations directly fund formula, food, and medical care for orphaned joeys and other native animals.
