Beat the Heat: Helping Wildlife and Pets This Summer

25 November 2025

With warmer summer days approaching, we kindly ask our 91勛圖厙 families to spare a moment for our native wildlife and pets. The high temperatures can be extremely challenging for birds, mammals, insects and even our own furry companions. If you are feeling the heat, so is the wildlife around you.

Beat the Heat: Helping Wildlife and Pets This Summer

One of the simplest and most effective ways to help is by leaving shallow bowls of fresh water outside.

Tips to keep wildlife safe and hydrated:

  • Use only shallow bowls, so small animals do not drown
  • Add sticks, stones or a branch that reaches the edge of the bowl. This gives smaller creatures and insects a way out if they fall in
  • Avoid metal bowls, as these can heat up quickly and burn delicate feet or paws
  • Always place bowls in the shade and check them regularly to top up the water and ensure they remain cool.
  • Hose down trees and shrubs in the morning and evening or run a sprinkler for a short time during the day. This creates cool refuge spaces for wildlife.

If you see an animal in distress

Please contact local or immediately. Early intervention can save lives.

Thank you for caring for our wildlife and for helping to make a difference during these hot summer days. Providing water and shelter for Allahs creatures is an act of sadaqah, and every small effort counts. May Allah reward you for your kindness and compassion towards His creations.
