Our volunteer programme is open to wildlife enthusiasts and those willing to train for a committed service - such as helping with intensive care, surgeries, and animal rescues in their area.
We’d like volunteers to truly gain when they spend time with us, while the organisation gains much needed assistance. Volunteers do have a responsibility - to protect and aid our urban wildlife, by advocacy, by reporting cruelty, and through participation.
There are many areas in which volunteers of all ages can help with. Volunteers can use their talent, inherent skill or pure interest in these. These needs change from time to time, so it is good to stay in touch with our Facebook page to know when/how to help.
- Animal enclosure cleaning
- Feeding the animals
- Species identification

We encourage parents to bring in their children to volunteer with us. Children are important to the cause of animal welfare. Working with animal care breeds passion and empathy, opens their world view. The experience of being on campus, working alongside our animal care specialists and other volunteers builds confidence and character. Being a volunteer advocate - spreading the word for animal welfare and simply telling people what we do at the hospital is also a positive growing experience.
Child volunteering starts from age eight. Children (till age 18) are required to provide a letter of consent from their parent, guardian or school. There is a volunteer registration fee.
