Mrs Langley said her aim was also to improve biodiversity. The not-for-profit, volunteer-operated organisation has been open since 1992 and in the past 23 years, the centre has rescued almost 10,000 animals. “We see about 1000 animals each year and the whole idea of Minton Farm is to rescue, rehabilitate and release … the new rehabilitation centre would go a long way towards helping us do that.” “Our ICU is chockers, we have so space which is why we need another facility up and going,” Mrs Langley said. The new rehabilitation centre will free up the ICU and allow more animals into emergency care. Mrs Langley, who has dedicated her life to rescuing native animals, is even selling her Toyota Hilux ute to help raise the money. The Cherry Gardens animal rescue centre is trying to raise $15,000, in addition to $15,000 already saved, to build a new animal rehabilitation centre at its site, buy medical equipment and update its hospital. ![]() ![]() Without the centre’s intensive care unit, the possum - and many other thousands of animals that have come through Mrs Langley’s front gate - would not be alive to tell the tale.īut now the centre is the one who needs help. ![]() Mrs Langley and her team amputated the broken arm and stopped an infection spreading further through the possum’s body. WHEN a ringtail possum with a broken arm came to the Minton Farm Animal Rescue Centre, owner Bev Langley knew the little girl needed emergency treatment to save her.
