FreeMe exists to...

• Rescue

Orphaned, abandoned, injured and displaced indigenous birds, mammals and reptiles are brought to the FreeMe centre in northern Johannesburg. FreeMe relies on members of the public to bring compromised animals to the centre for specialised treatment, care and rehabilitation until they can be released, and for notification if there are wild animals in distress. We welcome calls from the public asking for advice and support.

• Rehabilitate

FreeMe is run by a full-time manager and a dedicated group of volunteers and the centre is open from 8am to 5pm, 365 days a year. With the help of local veterinarians we provide specialised treatment, care and rehabilitation.

• Release

The ultimate aim is to release wildlife back into its natural habitat. Releases take place in carefully chosen areas including reserves and conservancies.
