A digital sponsorship certificate which you can print and frame
A copy of Basil’s story which you can keep with your certificate
Orphaned in heartbreaking circumstances when his mum was fatally struck by a train, he was found tucked safely inside her pouch, weighing just 205 grams. Though tiny, he was already fully furred and showing slight signs of head trauma—likely from the impact his mum endured. With careful veterinary attention and time under observation, those concerns gradually resolved.
He soon adapted to the bottle, steadily gaining weight and strength. These days, he spends his time cuddled up with his teddy companion, snoozing in his incubator where he stays toasty warm, only waking for his four-hourly feeds. While he hasn’t started eating leaf just yet, he’s showing keen interest as his teeth begin to come through—for now, he’s happily thriving on his milk.
By sponsoring him, you’ll be providing the essentials he needs to thrive—regular vet checks, his life-sustaining specialised milk, and, before long, the fresh eucalyptus he’ll eagerly explore. Your sponsorship will ensure that he has the very best opportunity to grow into a wild koala..
