Wildlife

For advice on sick, injured, orphaned or displaced native animals as well as where to find care for the animal, contact the Wildcare hotline on (08) 9474 9055. This is a 24 hour service.

If you are in the northern suburbs, you can contact Native Animal Rescue in Malaga on (08) 9249 3434. Native Animal Rescue provides some important information on what to do if you find a native animal.

If you want to report cruelty to wildlife, please call 1300 CRUELTY (1300 278 358) or report it online. Your report will be assessed and assigned to an Inspector. RSPCA WA also works closely with the WA Parks & Wildlife Service, who have their own animal welfare inspectors with the same powers to investigate suspected offences under the Animal Welfare Act 2002.

RSPCA WA does not have the specialist knowledge or facilities required to care for sick or injured wildlife. We work with specialist wildlife rescue groups to help provide medical treatment and care when required.
