Our Steenboks (Raphicerus campestris) have grown up so fast, and are enjoying browse and are fully weaned. They will soon be transferred to their prerelease enclosure for their ultimate release.

Pics: Ashleigh Pienaar This festive season we're dreaming big! Our hospital is growing at a rapid rate, and we are treating, rehabbing and releasing more patients than ever. We LOVE what we do, and we LOVE being able to make a difference and see what we can achieve with the phenomenal support of our community. In order to do what we do, even better, we are looking for any sponsorship opportunities for our very own vehicle! That's right, we are dreaming bigger than ever! This would be a great opportunity to collaborate with us to help us in collecting some of our patients, and being part of the release journey. Currently our core team and permitted volunteers use their own vehicles, sometimes having to borrow vehicles in order to ensure that our transport boxes fit comfortably and offer proper ventilation for the journey to our hospital / release sites. If you're willing to assist in being part of a team that sponsors a vehicle, or a company that would like to donate a vehicle, please get in touch so that we can discuss this exciting opportunity: jhbsmallwildlife@gmail.com We treat indigenous animals free of charge, relying solely on the donations and support of our community.  A massive thank you to Garry, Andrew, Dimi and the rest of the team at Florida SuperSpar for regularly donating enough fresh produce to stock our fridge! Your continuous generosity assists us greatly in the feeding of our wildlife patients. We treat indigenous wildlife, free of charge, relying on the community for donations and support.  This Cape Fox (Vulpes chama) was illegally kept in a domestic environment with dogs (the member of public also incorrectly identified her as a black-backed jackal). She was unfortunately bitten by one of the dogs, and was taken to Fourways Vet Hospital where she was stabilised and subsequently transferred to us. She had made a complete recovery and is now well on her way to being released. We treat indigenous animals free of charge, relying solely on the donations and support of our community.

The two oldest ones are siblings that fell out of a palm tree in Bryanston. We then received another genet baby found in a hollow stump after a tree was cut down. While hours were spent for a few evenings, waiting for their respective mothers to collect them, our reuniting attempts were not successful. Our latest genet patient was surrendered after its siblings were aspirated from being incorrectly fed and illegally kept by a well meaning member of the public. Ranging from 4 to 9 weeks in age, they are powering through their special milk formula! The two older genets are being introduced to natural food sources while they are being weaned. Our sincere thanks to their primary carer, permitted wildlife rehabiliator, Michelle Watson, for her dedication and numerous hours she has spent giving specialist care to these orphaned genets.

Our sincere thanks to the F10 team - we frequently use your range of products and this generous donation is greatly appreciated.

As we enter our second year of serving urban wildlife, we are grateful to have additional enclosures to temporarily house our patients before their next step in the release process. Before they're ready for use, however, we need to cover the bottom of the cages with soil.

For all the late night emergency calls, for all the road trips to all sorts of destinations to collect animals, for the countless hours spent cleaning cages, setting up cages, feeding and assisting our specialist team with treatments. For the hours spent on paperwork, taking photos, writing posts, getting back to members of the public who have dropped off injured wildlife. For all the effort spent round the clock on neonate and critical cases, the late night feeds, the money spent on food and enrichment for our patients. For the hours, care and money taken to print pamphlets, sitting at a stand, educating members of the public and fundraising. This day is for you! Due to the specialist nature of our clinic, our volunteers are EXTRA special, most having many years of rehabilitation experience, being permitted by GDARD to work with urban wildlife, and many in the process of obtaining vet and vet nursing qualifications. We’re proud to call you our team, and thank each and every one of you for your time, money and care given to our hospital and our patients. Happy International Volunteer Day! We treat indigenous animals free of charge, relying solely on the donations and support of our community. Pics: Sarah Kempen A while back we asked if you would consider supporting our African clawless otter (Aonyx capensis) by sponsoring a meal. We were lucky enough to receive enough funding to sponsor her milk for a month! Thank you to everyone who contributed to her care. She is growing fast and reaching all her developmental milestones. She is now not only enjoying her special milk formula (and almost able to hold her own bottle!), but is also beginning to eat an indigenous fish, Tilapia. If you would like to sponsor this for her, we'd love to hear from you.

After being stabilised at Bird and exotic animal hospital at Onderstepoort, he was brought to us for rehabilitation and preparation for his eventual release. He has been thriving on his milk formula, has been introduced to natural food sources and is ready to go to his prerelease enclosure, before he is released to live as intended, in the wild. Thanks to primary carer, and permitted rehab volunteer, Ashleigh Pienaar, for her dedication to his care.
