All non-native and domestic animals are not able to be supported by RRANA under our native wildlife rescue and rehabilitation licence.
Is it a non-native or domestic animal?
- If the animal is a domestic pet such as a dog or cat, we suggest contacting a local vet or the NSW RSPCA.
- If it is a farm animal such as a horse, cow or sheep, try contacting the local council or a nearby property.
- You can also try calling the police (if you can't get through to council) but remember this may not be a priority for the police force. However, they may be able to refer you to an appropriate number to call.
- If it is a native animal, or you are unsure, proceed to Contact a wildlife rescuer.
