The not-for-profit organisation started in October 1996 with the goal of rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing animals that are sick, have been injured or are orphaned.

A lot of the animals that are rescued have been victims of road accidents.

The organisation is very similar to and often works alongside WIRES, and is another option people can reach out to if they come across an animal in need of help.

"We work beside WIRES, not against them, and we do exactly the same as what WIRES does, except we have our own protocols and our own business structure," secretary Linda Stoev said.

"We share rescues; if they have something that needs rescuing that they can't attend, it comes out to us. If we can attend it, we do and visa versa. We're collaborating between what rescuers and carers are available in the area to solve the issue of the orphaned or injured animal then and there."

The Wildlife Carers Network Central West covers an area that is 22,000 square kilometres, with carers located in different places, including Sunny Corner, Mudgee and Capertee.

One of the carers in the local area is Michelle Evans, who has been with the Wildlife Carers Network for more than two years.

She typically cares for the "pinkies", which are babies that don't have any fur yet.

"I personally have a humidity crib in my house, a proper animal humidity crib, which keeps the temperature and the humidity constant, because they need to be at particular temperatures at different stages of their life," she said.

Animals stay in her care until they are ready to be released back into the wild, which can take a few months or well over a year.

She often has more than one animal in her care at a time and they require a lot of attention.

The Wildlife Carers Network is aiming to raise awareness in the communities it serves, which is why the organisation is starting to have a presence at the monthly Riverside Markets.

"We're trying to get the awareness out there that there's multiple organisations that can be rung," Ms Evans said.

"We're pretty much just trying to get the name out there and raise some funds. Any money that is raised from anything we sell, it all goes back into helping the wildlife."

Carers involved in the organisation are all volunteers. The more money that can be raised, the easier it is to meet the needs of the animals in care.

People can support the organisation at markets or with donations, as the Lithgow branch of the Commonwealth Bank did recently.

The bank donated $500, which will help the organisation in a number of ways.

"All of our money goes back into buying equipment to support our members, our carers and our rescuers, because all of our time is volunteer work; no one is financially remunerated for any time they put in sadly, so it helps with our feeding, our medical supplies, our equipment, it goes to a lot of things," Ms Stoev said.

People who come across an animal in need can call the Wildlife Carers Network on 0408 966 228.
