💵🐾 IT’S $5 FRIDAY, Y’ALL! 🐾💵

Winter is coming, and we’re getting ready! ❄️ We’re doing a big reset of all our supplies and inventory to make sure we’re stocked, organized, and ready to welcome the next round of little ones who may need us. 🦝🦊🦌

And let’s not forget, we still have plenty of little mouths to feed! Some of our current babies will be with us for the next several weeks before they’re ready to spread their wings (or paws!) and make their journey back to the wild. ❤️

So we’re asking our amazing village to help us get winter-ready! Whether it’s $5, $10, or simply sharing this post, every little bit helps keep bellies full and supplies stocked.

Five dollars may not seem like much, but when our village comes together, those $5 donations add up to BIG things! 🥰

We can’t do what we do without you, and our furry little freeloaders thank you for it! 😂🐾

As always, if you can’t donate, please SHARE! Every share helps us reach another animal lover!

Happy $5 Friday from all of us at Shooting Star Wildlife Rehabilitation! ⭐❤️

💎 WISHLIST WEDNESDAY! 💎

First off, we know we’ve been a little MIA lately! 🙈 Between kids, animals, multiple jobs, and everything else life keeps throwing our way, things have been CRAZY around here! But we keep pushing through because these babies aren’t going to feed themselves! 😂❤️

✨ BUT GUESS WHO’S GROWING UP?! ✨

Do you guys remember Tiny Diamond 💎, the sweet little guy who was literally the size of my thumb when he first came to us?! Well, that tiny little guy is now almost 2 POUNDS! 😭❤️ Where does the time go?!

Tiny Diamond will soon be moving into our outdoor pre-release enclosure along with the rest of our crazy crew: Biggie, Moxie Dewdrop, Smidge, and Creek! 🌿

These babies have been doing some SERIOUS growing up, and if this weather cooperates, they’ll be off to live their best wild lives sooner rather than later! 🌳☀️ There’s nothing quite like watching these little ones grow, gain their independence, and get ready for their next big adventure!

BUT… until then, those growing bellies are STILL eating us out of house and home! 🤣🐾 We’re going through food like crazy, especially hard and soft cat food, and we could really use your help keeping those bellies full!

👇 CHECK OUT THE LINK BELOW! 👇

💚 You can donate directly to help cover their care.
🛒 You can shop our wishlist and send supplies straight to us.
🐱 Hard and soft cat food are always needed!

And while we’re caring for our current crew, we’re also revamping, restocking, and getting ready for NEXT BABY SEASON! 😳 Because somehow, it’ll be here before we know it!

We couldn’t do any of this without our amazing supporters. Every donation, every wishlist purchase, and every share helps us keep these babies fed and cared for. If you can’t donate, sharing this post helps more than you know! ❤️

Thank you for continuing to show up for Shooting Star Wildlife Rehabilitation and all our wild little troublemakers! 🌟🦝

🦌❤️ THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE IT ALL WORTH IT. ❤️🦌

Tonight, the baby fawns came in, and days like these are becoming few and far between. 🥹💔

They’re venturing farther and farther away, exploring the world, and not coming back nearly as often. The tiny babies who once depended on me around the clock aren’t so little anymore. They’re growing up, becoming independent, and slowly finding their way into the wild where they belong.

I’m the only human they’ll even come close to, and tonight was a rare and incredibly special moment. I usually keep my distance because I know they need to be wild, but something about tonight made me feel like they came in just to say, “Look at us, Mom! We’re doing great! We’re okay!” 🥹❤️

I still see babies I raised years ago out in the wild. I know they’re mine because when they hear my voice, they stop for a moment and listen before turning and running back into the life they were given a second chance to live. 🦌✨

And THAT is why I do what I do.

Every sleepless night. Every bottle made. Every bottle washed. Every load of laundry. Every enclosure cleaned. Every ounce of worry, exhaustion, and love poured into these babies… it is all worth it. Every single bit of it.

One day, the babies who needed us so desperately become wild animals who no longer need us at all. And as much as it breaks my heart to watch them go, it fills my soul knowing they’re out there living the life they were always meant to live.

These babies got a second chance because we were here when no one else was. And getting to witness moments like tonight is a gift I will never take for granted. ❤️

So, if you ever wonder why we do this… this is why. Not for recognition, not for praise, but for moments like these. For the ones who get to grow up, walk away, and live wild and free. 🌿🦌

Run free, my babies. You will always be a little piece of my heart, no matter how far into the wild you go. ❤️⭐

💖 A HUGE THANK YOU FROM SHOOTING STAR WILDLIFE REHABILITATION! 🌟🦝🦊🦌

We are still trying to wrap our heads around all the AMAZING support we received yesterday at our fundraising tattoo event! 🥹❤️ To everyone who showed up, donated, got tattooed, shared our event, or simply cheered us on — THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! You are helping us continue to care for all our babies, and we couldn’t do this without you!

A HUGE shoutout to all the incredible artists at Beauty From Ashes Tattoo LLC! 🖤 You all worked your BUTTS off to help us make this event a success, and we are beyond grateful for every bit of time, talent, and love you poured into helping our cause. You are truly amazing!

We also want to apologize for being a little MIA this week. Unfortunately, we had to travel due to a death in the family, and life threw us a curveball when we least expected it. ❤️‍🩹

While we were away, we were lucky enough to have an amazing village step in and help keep everything going!

🐾 Thank you, Troy Hughbanks, for holding down the fort and taking care of our bigger babies while we were gone!

🍼 Thank you, Moonlight Misfits Wildlife Rehabilitation Kasey McIntosh, for taking on our little babies and making sure they were loved and cared for while we were away. We are so thankful to have you in our corner!

This is what wildlife rehabilitation is all about. It takes a VILLAGE to do what we do, and sometimes that means leaning on one another, stepping up when someone needs help, and making sure the babies always come first. ❤️

The friendships, the teamwork, the support, and the love for these little lives are what make this journey so incredibly special. We may be two separate rescues, but we will always be stronger together! 🌙🌟

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for showing up for us, for the babies, and for this mission we love so much. Every donation, every helping hand, every share, and every kind word makes a difference!

Our hearts are full, our village is amazing, and the babies are so lucky to have you all! 🥹💖

With all our love and gratitude,
🌟 Shooting Star Wildlife Rehabilitation 🌟

This is Reeko and this is why I never get a good picture with or of Reeko because he is nosy! Reeko came to me almost a year ago. (Hard to believe it has only been a year when dealing with a skunk 🦨 lol) He had some issues with his previous owner that need adjustments and some behaviors that needed to be corrected. So……

Here we are today. His nose in the camera and all lol. We have had some huge milestones in our progress. He has gained some much needed weight, his fur is thick and beautiful and we were able to finally trim his nails (that is a HUGE MILESTONE). Even Febreze who gets her nails trimmed regularly hates to have it done and it is a huge chore. Skunks can be very moody animals and you have to gain their trust it isn’t just given. You also can’t force that trust it takes time and baby steps.

We are still working through a few behavioral issues. We may never fully break them but he is learning and they are becoming far less frequent. I have also learned not to push the issue. I make the correction go on to something else and then later come back and try again. The fact that he is up on my lap, climbing, sniffing and being nosy is something that wouldn’t have happened a year ago.

I know the dream of own an exotic animal sounds amazing but they are so much work. Proper housing. Proper enrichment. Proper diet. The proper paperwork. The proper permits. Please do your research and know what you are getting yourself into before taking on such a huge responsibility for the next 15 years.

🩷 Shooting Star Wildlife Rehabilitation, Febreze and Reeko!

💵 IT’S $5 FRIDAY! 🦝🦌🦨🐿️

Our rehab babies would like to remind you that being cute is NOT a paying job. 😂

The formula doesn’t buy itself, the food bowls are apparently bottomless, and these little freeloaders have ZERO plans of getting jobs anytime soon. 🤣

So if you can spare $5 today, these babies would be incredibly grateful! ❤️

$5 from a few amazing people adds up to full bellies, stocked supplies, and another day of saving lives. 🐾

Can’t donate? Share! That costs nothing and helps us more than you know. ❤️

🐾🦝🦨🦌🐿️ Help us keep the babies fed!
