Palestinian Man and Israeli Animal Rights Group Perform Cross-Border Parrot Rescue. In uneasy times, love always has the power to shine through.
On Tuesday, a Palestinian man in the blockaded Gaza Strip found his African grey parrot, Koki, in dire straits. Koki accidentally drank from a bottle of bleach and local vets didn’t have the resources to save the animal, and suggested the injured bird be put down.
But Abdullah Sharaf, Koki’s owner, refused to give up on his friend. He petitioned for help via Facebook to an Israeli animal rights group, who had the knowledge and equipment to handle the crippling injury. The Israeli animal group sent a mobile surgery clinic to meet Sharaf and Koki on the frontier between Israel and Gaza and perform life-saving treatment on the bird. Since 2007, a blockade has been stationed in Gaza from both the Israeli and Egyptian fronts, meaning a trip between them always comes with risk. But this time, at least, the risk was well worth the reward. Koki was treated successfully, and is now back home in recovering.
He Came Home and Found a Cat Sitting in a Chair – Only He Didn’t Have a Cat…
Most of the time, people adopt animals. But in this case, a cat adopted a man. This is a story that is sure to make you smile.
Imgur user Nigeltown — who I’ll call Nigel for the sake of the article — shared a sweet and hilarious photo story that warms the heart. After a long day, he returned home to a find a cat in his house. The thing is, though, he didn’t have a cat before he left. Now he did.
Nigel presumed the cat must have come through an open window and just made himself at home.
Nigel decided the little guy must be hungry, so he ran out to the store to go get him some food and other cat supplies. As the cat ate, Nigel writes that he was meowing and purring like crazy.
Later the next day, Nigel canvased his neighborhood to see if anyone was missing a cat. But, apparently, none of his neighbors had any cats at all.
Nigel decided he should take the cat to the vet and see if he was microchipped. He was not. But, while there, they discovered that the cat had worms and fleas. He got shots and meds and went back home with Nigel — whom the cat followed all over the house, wherever he went.
Throughout the next week, Nigel checked to see if anyone was missing a cat and/or if there were any mama cats nearby. But again, there was nothing to indicate where this little cat had come from.
Finally, Nigel decided to give the little cutie pie a name. He chose Buddy.
Buddy loves his new home with Nigel and Nigel has happily accepted that Buddy adopted him. The two are now a loving, happy family. And if the unique circumstances they met under are any indication of the future, it’s going to be interesting and exciting.
"Bella," a long-haired, toy Dachshund, was reportedly chasing a squirrel when she got stuck in an interior wall, according to the Chattanooga Fire Department.
A few years ago, a snowy owl was hit by a car in Cape Cod. The owl was rehabbed and released back to the wild when fully recovered. On Monday, March 18 in New York, a baby owl went through a similar ordeal. Around two in the morning, Officers Jeremy Arciello and Kenneth Palmer noticed a small owl on the side of the road on Colonel Chandler Drive.
The baby owl had been hit by a car. With instructions from a wildlife rehabilitation center, they moved the owl from harm’s way. Officer Seyfarth, a colleague from the police department, kindly took the small animal to the Marbletown Animal Hospital. The owl was thoroughly checked and it turns out the strong, little guy didn’t even have broken bones and is expected to make a full recovery.
The Kingston Police Department provided updates on the baby owl’s health on their Facebook page throughout the day, and they announced that the owl was turned over to Veterinarian and Wildlife Rehab Professionals. The wildlife rehab team is optimistic about the bird’s recovery! The ultimate goal is to release the owl where he was found. This precious baby owl is now safe thanks to the kindness of the Kingston police officers who stepped in to help an animal in need!
The adorable goat found on Sunday, March 17th by the NYPD is certainly not the first to escape slaughter in New York City. Just a few months ago, two goats were found on the subway tracks who were thought to have escaped a slaughterhouse. Fortunately, they were sent to the Farm Sanctuary to be taken care of by Jon and Tracey Stewart. A brave cow in Queens had the same lucky fate three years ago.
It just so happens that this goat had the luck of the Irish when on St. Patrick’s day, he was found roaming around 132nd Street and Locust Avenue. The NYPD found him and took him to Animal Care Centers where he was given a medical check.
The goat most likely escaped from a slaughterhouse, but those scary days of awaiting death are behind him as he heads off to Skylands Sanctuary and Animal Rescue in Wantage, New Jersey. There, the goat will join the fast little lamb who was found running along the Gowanus Expressway just a few days ago.
Dairy goats suffer the same cruelties as dairy cows. They also cry like babies when they’re sent to slaughter. It’s an existence that no living being should have to endure. This goat is so fortunate to be one of the few who gets a happy ending!
Dallas Woman Finds Wallaby Hopping Around Her Driveway and Helps Him Get Rescued!
One lost wallaby has been found thanks to a lucky encounter with a woman in her way to work.
Casey Tiernan of Dallas, Texas was getting ready for her day when she spotted a member of the marsupial family hopping outside in her driveway. She snapped a picture of the lost-looking little fellow, and quickly posted it to Facebook.
She said in her caption:
“Posts I never thought I’d write: If you are missing your kangaroo or wallaby, it’s chilling in my driveway. 5900 block of Vickery. Seems pretty tame and wants in the house. We’re trying to coax it into the back yard so it can have a safer place. #lakewoodlife”
According to the local news report, animal control managed to wrangle the wallaby, but “not without some drama” according to Tiernan, as she, her husband, neighbors, animal rescuers and and even some of the news reporters helped to corral the animal their backyard. The creature was then “gently captured in a large net.”
Tiernan posted later on that the wallaby was safe and sound in the hands of an animal rescue worker who cradled the creature in his arms and gently scratched its neck. According to Tiernan, the animal was “calm and obviously tame and clearly enjoyed being scratched,”
“I’m just glad it’s safe.” She wrote later.
It’s not technically against the law to own a wallaby in the State of Texas, said Dallas Animal Services Manager Whitney Hanson. The Wallaby encounter on Wednesday wasn’t even the first time Animal service was called to wrangle the breed either.
“It’s unusual but it’s not unheard of. We don’t see it every day. But we have see them in the past,” said Hanson. According to the Animal Service, the wallaby has got it’s own private room so that “it wouldn’t stress out the dogs.“ If no owner comes forward to claim the marsupial, the service will attempt to place the animal in a sanctuary or with a rescue organization. We’re just glad the animal is safe, and that when kind people like Casey Tiernan encounter an animal on the loose, they keep the animal’s well being in mind.
Terez and Masoud were born into horrible surroundings in Razgrad Zoo, a zoo in Bulgaria which also served as an illegal breeding station. Their mother abandoned them just hours after they were born and if it wasn’t for local activists, who took care of Masoud and Terez, they would have died. Last year, we were able to give the playful lion cubs a second chance at our FELIDA Big Cat Centre.

Sun bears Dorle and Kaffe were both rescued from over 10 years of extreme captivity in Vietnam as exotic pets.
But since being rescued by Animals Asia, both bears now live together at the charity's award-winning rescue centre.
They spend their days foraging on the grass, exploring, playing together and simply being bears.
Although the chronic stress of her suffering left Dorle blind, her disability doesn't stop her living life to the full, wrestling with her best friends, enjoying the birdsong and sniffing out tasty treats.
Caruso’s new chapter in life! In recent years we have brought 14 animals from FELIDA Big Cat Centre to LIONSROCK. Now it’s time for 12-year-old Caruso to fly to South Africa 🇿🇦. After his rocky start in life, Caruso deserves a spacious and species appropriate forever home. At our LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary & Lodge he will live in an enclosure of approximately one hectare, where he will have the opportunity to run, climb, swim in a big pool or hide behind trees and bushes. Let’s bring Caruso home - please support the journey of this beautiful and confident tiger! http://bit.ly/carusos-journey
From climbing and palaeontology to nesting and a watermelon-eating contest, these rescued sun bears know how to enjoy sanctuary life.
Poached from the wild as cubs for the exotic pet trade, sun bears Aurora, Goldie, Sassy, Annemarie, Murphy and Layla sadly will likely never be able to return to the wild.
Without survival skills, dealing with residual mental trauma and having been habituated to the presence of humans, the best that can be done for these six precious individuals is to give them the happiest, most natural life possible in sanctuary.
And at Animals Asia’s award-winning bear rescue centre in Vietnam, that’s exactly what all six bears receive every day.
This large, outdoor enclosure – filled with trees, a swimming pool and climbing frames – constantly changes to make sure every day is filled with excitement and new discoveries for all six bears.
This allows the rescued orphans to express natural behaviours such as foraging, while the group provides emotional support for each other – a situation made possible by the generous support of Miomojo, a fashion company which has part-sponsors the group for nearly a year.
When a tiny, 9 week old leopard cub was found in a sugarcane field in Maharashtra, his mother was nowhere to be seen. A team from Wildlife SOS, working with the Forest Department, quickly arrived to help. Our veterinarian, Dr. Ajay Deshmukh, conducted an on-site exam and found that the cub was healthy and fit for release. The cub was then placed in a plastic tub with plenty of airholes, and left right near the spot where he had been found. Our team waited at a safe distance, with the cameras rolling.
