What to do if you find a stray animal
What should I do if I find a stray animal?
Compliance Team at Wollongong Council on (02) 4227 7111 for a pick up (open for calls 7 days between 9 am – 5pm). If you are unable to reach them your closest veterinarian may be able to scan them for a microchip and try to contact an owner, however we are limited in our capacity to house stray animals if owners are unable to be reached quickly. Please call your closest veterinary clinic for advice prior
to bringing them down.
What if the animal is not a dog or a cat?
If the stray animal is healthy but is not a dog or cat please call the RSPCA for further guidance (CLOSED MONDAYS, ONLY OPEN 10am – 3.30pm OTHER DAYS) – (02) 4271 3410. You will likely need to take the animal directly to them.
