Lonely Fans: Sponsor Arni

$10.00

Meet Arni the Koala

Status: Emotionally available. Physically... always in a tree.
Likes: Leafy snacks, solitary naps, and being the main character.
Dislikes: Habitat loss, loud tourists, and having zero fans.

About me: Hey, I’m Arni – a chilled-out, tree-hugging icon currently residing at Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Life used to be simple: eat leaves, nap, repeat. But thanks to bushfires, deforestation, and a rapidly changing climate, finding safe homes (and fresh eucalyptus) has become harder than ever for wild koalas so it’s more important that ever I have fans to help spread my conservation message.

That’s why I’ve joined Lonely Fans. Because while I might not have a ring light or a skincare routine, I still deserve some love and support – especially from humans who care about Australia’s iconic wildlife.

For as little as $10/month, you can become one of Arni’s fans and help cover:

  • His daily eucalyptus buffet 🍃

  • Veterinary care and habitat maintenance 🏥

  • Long-term conservation and rescue programs 🐨

In return? You'll get:

  • A digital fan certificate

  • Regular updates (think: cute pics, fun facts, koala moods)

  • The warm, fuzzy feeling of doing something great

So, are you in?

Lonely Fans: Sponsor a Wild Soul

At Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, we care for animals who’ve been displaced, injured, or orphaned due to habitat destruction, extreme weather, or human activity. These incredible animals are no longer just wildlife – they’re wild souls in need of support.

Through Lonely Fans, we’re inviting animal lovers (yes, you!) to connect with our residents in a new way: as fans.

Each animal has their own Lonely Fan profile, a personality-filled bio, and a real story. From Arni the koala to Pepita the parrot, your sponsorship makes a real difference in their daily lives – from food to vet care to long-term sanctuary upgrades.

Why This Matters:

  • Koalas like Arni are now endangered in many parts of Australia.

  • Rising costs of care, rehabilitation, and habitat restoration are stretching wildlife centres thin.

  • Your recurring donation helps us provide consistent care and long-term planning.

This isn’t charity fluff. This is real, tangible help – dressed up with a bit of humor and heart to reach more people who can make a difference.

💛 Ways You Can Help:

  • Sponsor an animal for as little as $10/month

  • Share your Lonely Fan’s story on socials to help raise awareness

  • Gift a sponsorship to a friend who loves animals.

Become a Lonely Fan today. Because no one should be this wild and alone.
