 About the Rehabilitation Centre
The Centre is situated KwaZulu-Natal. It is a wildlife hospital that cares for the injured and orphaned wild animals and birds and the only centre of its kind in the Province.
Your work:
As a charity organisation there are always more mouths to feed than hands to feed them, so every helping hand is greatly appreciated.
Volunteer duties and responsibilities are linked with level of experience so there is something for everyone, from feeds to assisting nurses in the clinic, to grounds work and the building of suitable enclosures, to assisting in rescues and releases.
There are approximately 300 - 400 animals under the centre’s care at any given time, all of which are wildlife indigenous to Kwa Zulu Natal. Animals range from birds and mammals to raptors and reptiles, and many many monkeys.
During the summer months when monkeys give birth, many newborn baby monkeys are either abandoned or taken away from their mothers by ignorant humans who would like them as pets. When people realize they do not have the skills to care for these animals, they are dropped off at the centre. These baby monkeys require 24 hour care, regular feeding, cleaning and most importantly human contact.
