The Western Cape’s Wildlife care is expanding! Grace Valley Wildlife Rescue will soon become a permitted satellite wildlife rehabilitation centre of its own.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Western Cape, South Africa (22 May 2025) \u2014 <\/i>For five years, Grace Valley Wildlife Rescue has rescued and stabilised injured, orphaned and displaced wildlife as the first line of help. Now, in a big and thrilling move, the non-profit is growing to become a permitted satellite wildlife rehabilitation facility!<\/p>\n

Grace Valley Wildlife Rescue has helped all kinds of animals including tortoises caught in wildfires, eagles in trouble and little duikers in distress.<\/p>\n

Operating under the guidance and authority of the Kogelberg Biosphere Wildlife Rescue and Training Centre<\/a> (the only facility of its kind in the Western Cape and the sole permitted wildlife rehabilitation centre in the Overberg), the expansion to a satellite rehabilitation facility means a massive step for wildlife care in the province.<\/p>\n

Previously, without being a permitted rehabilitation facility of its own, the Grace Valley team relied on other registered facilities to undertake ongoing care.<\/p>\n

Now, the team\u2019s efficiency and impact are set to expand in leaps and bounds as they become an officially recognised satellite centre, taking them from first response to full recovery.<\/p>\n

Says Grace Valley\u2019s founder, Shireen Freeman:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honoured to contribute to this pioneering model of decentralised, expert-led rehabilitation\u2014one that strengthens conservation efforts across the region.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As such, the growth represents a vital expansion of the province\u2019s limited wildlife rehabilitation capacity.<\/p>\n

Grace Valley Wildlife Rescue is currently raising funds to build the necessary infrastructure for their future (specialised enclosures, quarantine areas and safety systems) that you can contribute to here.<\/a><\/p>\n

They already have a building on their owned property. Now, it’s a matter of kitting everything out so that the animals have the best chance at recovery.<\/p>\n
