THE BACKGROUND:

Maddie Red is a Red Kangaroo Joey. She was found in her mother’s pouch along the side of the highway. She had been waiting for several days to be rescued and was very weak and dehydrated when she came into care. She is now recovering well.

Tennille and her family run Wildlife Empire in Goondiwindi, Queensland.

They rescue, rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned wildlife within a wide area that is currently drought-stricken. Over the last few months they have been inundated with rescues and animals who have been affected by bushfires.

All native animals are accepted into at the Wildlife Empire. These include kangaroos, wallabies, possums, birds, echidnas, reptiles and bats.

The wildlife adoption program supports The Wildlife Empire with the purchase of specialised formulas, food, bottles, teats and medical supplies for animals like Maddie Red as this shelter receives no outside funding and relies entirely on the goodwill of others to rescue and rehabilitate our precious native wildlife.
