The Rescue of a Baby Squirrel

 


Life is never boring…

Last week I was taking a nap after work because I wasn't feeling well - when my Ring camera kept going off. I picked up my phone to see what was happening outside.

The first video showed my neighbor’s son being chased by a squirrel and the next one was my Simon petting the squirrel.

Neighbors heard crying/screaming and found the little thing all alone and it followed/chased them, he knocked on our door because he thought since I have cats so of course, I’d know what to do, so Simon went to meet the baby.


Sweet baby

I got on my phone and started to make call – I was going to find a safe place for this sweet

SPCA was closed so I called the Hamburg Police and they gave me the phone number of a lady in Boston who helps squirrels. After speaking to her we were off to Boston with the baby squirrel

We got to the house to find out the baby was about 6 weeks old and a boy - Simon named him Chip! He was most likely without momma for a few days because of the shape he was in. He will get the fluids he needs and will be brought up with a few other squirrel babies. He will stay safe in the sanctuary until he and his foster brothers and sisters can be set free!

She will keep in touch with me and send me pics of Chip and siblings as they grow!


This squirrel sanctuary is on a few acres of land - most of the squirrels she releases stay right on the grounds and come to her when they want! 

Sounds like the perfect way to live!


  UPDATE:


Chip with his new brothers and sisters
He is the one in the middle of the sleeping ones  - they are a little younger than him  - the bigger two on the other side are a bit older. 



What a crazy day, I was just happy that I could help the little guy

 and get him someplace safe!
