A safe haven for native animals

Our patients recover at our centre after treatment at Wildbase Hospital, they change regularly as they recover and are released back into the wild.

Our resident animals are with us all the time so there is always something to see.

Ruru Summerhill

Ruru/Morepork Summerhill

I was found on the ground unable to fly

Where have I come from?
I was found up Summerhill in Palmerston North

How have the vets helped me?
I was taken to Wildbase Hospital where they found I had some issues with my eyes. I was given pain medication and placed on cage rest. I am here to see if my vision has improved.
