HOW YOU CAN HELP ANIMALS AFFECTED BY THE FLOODS

Dr Katrina Warren has compiled this list of the best ways you can help animals affected by the floods, she also emphasizes the need for cash donations. She writes:

At the moment there are enough foster homes for pets. The response has been amazing and RSPCA has been blown away by the number of people offering homes. You can still register to foster or help at floods@rspcaqld.org.au and they will contact you if they need you.

WILDLIFE

We will not know the true impact on our wildlife for some time. It may take weeks for the floodwaters to recede in some areas. There is huge lost of habitat for many animals and dangerous conditions are currently hampering efforts to assess the worst affected regions. Wildlife will need medical care, food and shelter. The best way to help wildlife right now is to donate money that can be used for food drops or medical care as necessary.

If you find injured or displaced wildlife call your local vet and ask for the number of the local wildlife rescue group. Minimise handling of wildlife and place in a dark, quiet room if possible.
