So far 8 million hectares, or about the size of Austria, have burned on the island nation.
Experts estimate that half a billion animals, both wild and domesticated pets and livestock have been killed in the fires, while there could be hundreds of thousands of animals injured and displaced.
The Animal Rescue Craft Guild was originally formed to help make dog and cat beds and coats a few months ago but quickly changed its focus when the fires started burning.
Members of the guild started making pouches for baby kangaroos who have lost their mothers, and mittens for koalas to protect burned paws.
Mittens are then filled with cooling ointment to treat the burnt paws, the CBC reported in November.
The group has received donations from the U.S., Britain, Hong Kong and Germany, Reuters reported.
