UPDATE: thanks to Daphne Harmon, this little guy is medicated and recovering from his cat attack. Victims of cat attacks are often VERY stressed/scared when they arrive - it’s not uncommon for them to wake up screaming the first day or two in rehab. 😞
Stuffed animals and ‘calm-down’ meds help with this. We are so grateful to Daphne for making the effort to help him last night so he could have a chance 🐿️❤️‍🩹🙏

Urgent 🚨 This guy needs to be picked up from Chatt zoo by 5pm eastern time and held until 7pm, when I can meet and get him at Whole Foods on manufacturers rd ; please TEXT me if you can help 423-401-0826 🙏🐿️

Remember the squirrel we posted about on October 11? Here she is feeling much better, hopping around like she owns the place, in a new-to-her pen, with two foster siblings. One sibling came in similar to her, half dead and soaked from the Isaias storm. 🌀The other sibling was held back because she was smaller than her original group. They are intrigued with their new space, rearranging their blankets, and climbing the walls 😂 We love recovery stories like this ❤️‍🩹

This juvenile female gray squirrel was found yesterday evening in downtown Chattanooga by a kind woman who was walking her dog. Despite the wind and rain from Isaias 🌀, she drove the little soul up signal mountain in the dark, using her car’s seat warmer to help the little squirrel stay warm. Note the cloudy pupils upon intake- this indicates severe dehydration and starvation. She was having seizures when she arrived 💔😭 After several rounds of fluids and warm blankets, she is readily taking diluted formula and her little eyes look normal again. She’s not out of the woods yet, but we are hopeful that she will continue to recover and get a chance to be a squirrel 🐿️❤️‍🩹

This sleepy little guy is the sole survivor of a litter of four baby squirrels that were illegally kept by their finders and fed kitten milk for a week. When the babies begin to die the(rather belligerent) finders began calling and texting us nonstop, demanding we come get the remaining three and save them. Like most intakes, we requested they take the babies to the Chattanooga Zoo for intake & two more had died by the time we did pick up later that afternoon. Kitten milk kills squirrels, and sadly some finders would rather believe the internet instead of a trained, licensed and experienced rehabber. Fortunately this little soul should be okay. The zoo started fluid therapy immediately, which we continued for several days. He has graduated to full strength regular formula as of yesterday 🙏❤️‍🩹

Hey friends! Fall baby season is in full swing! Today we admitted our 127th squirrel 🐿️ and we’ve started to get low on supplies!
If you’re in a position to help, I’ve linked our Amazon wishlist list below.
I’ve also added our top four 4️⃣ most needed items in the comments. The Zupreem Primate dry diet, the formula, hand warmers and miracle ni***es are essential for babies this age.
Your support allows us to continue helping these little wild lives; thank you! 🙏❤️‍🩹🐿️

UPDATE: the baby is safe with Gretchen (see new cosy towel pic) and there’s a plan to get him admitted tomorrow. Thank you everyone! 🙏🙏🙏

Is anyone available to contain this baby squirrel? Please text me at 540-392-5428. If you can help, he’s downtown near UTC. The finders are not able to contain him because they said they don’t have a box.

In June, we admitted two baby squirrels-a male and female- with fly strike 💔 They were either VERY late spring babies or VERY early fall babies. Either way, they grew and grew and today we opened their release pen door ✨❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🙏
While we currently have 48 Fall squirrel babies, they all have a ways to go before they’ll be old enough to release.

We held off on posting this little one- we honestly were not sure she would make it. She was admitted after the finders kept her and her sister for three days (they said). But the little squirrels told a different story… they were so badly dehydrated when they arrived, we were amazed that their tiny hearts were still beating❤️❤️ and we suspect the finders kept them much longer than three days.
Despite our best efforts, one of these little squirrels passed away shortly after admission. 💔

But this sweet little girl is still fighting. She has started opening her tiny eyes, and while we know she still looks rough, she looks **SO** much better than she did when she arrived. Every small improvement gives us hope. ❤️‍🩹🐿️

This is also an important reminder that getting orphaned or injured wildlife to a licensed rehabilitator as quickly as possible can make all the difference. We don't know why these babies were kept for so long before being admitted, but we are grateful they were finally brought to us. Because of that decision, this little girl has a chance.

Thank you to everyone who supports wildlife rehabilitation and helps give these precious lives the opportunity to heal. ❤️‍🩹✨🙏
