Just a few of the babies.
Very taxing round these parts. Lil Grayson has been very sick, no remedies are helping much, and though he’s quarantined, the extra measures to sterilize literally every syringes, cloth, handle, jar, bedding and my clothes, takes an extra hour each feeding, leaving no time between rounds.
I am at over capacity and stretched to the limit trying to stop people who are finding baby squirrels from the HORRIBLE advice from “chat GPT: A.I.: misunderstood outgoing messages on rehabber phones: terrible YouTube videos.

Please PLEASE if you find a baby animal.. do MOT guess or assume a random collection of information scrambled and regurgitated out as facts on wildlife care is right.

We rather you DO NOT attempt to feed any animal and please SPEAK.. yes SPEAK, not text a rehabber or wildlife center to confirm answers.

We do not give cold babies room temp, cow, goat or other milk or fluid.
We do NOT feed cream, breast milk, kitten formula via kitten bottles.

We do not do most of the things we are being told proudly that someone ‘researched’
. lastly leaving a message for a Rehabb, who is at capacity and stating in question form, what do you want me to do, let it starve or die? Simply a manipulative way to try and guilt somebody into being even more over capacity.

Lord knows I try to get back to everybody, but I will not sugarcoat poor care if someone refused to stop actions that are harmful ..,because at the end of the experience… The Animal is going to be handed over even sicker and in worse shape.

Please, STOP getting advice from the internet .. it is NOT an MD, a DVM, a wildlife specialist.. or any scientist in the care of a living being.

Just a few of the babies.

I am at over capacity and stretched to the limit & trying to stop people who are finding baby squirrels from giving and doubling down on the HORRIBLE advice from “chat GPT: A.I.: misunderstood outgoing messages on rehabber phones: terrible YouTube videos:, poor advice from friends, language barriers, etc..

Please, PLEASE, if you find a baby animal.. do NOT guess or assume a random collection of information scrambled and regurgitated out as facts on wildlife care is right. Especially from the random non-human brew of nonsense called the internet 😫

We rather you DO NOT attempt to feed any animal and please SPEAK.. yes SPEAK, preferably not text only exchange, especially if you need help…ask for a conversation/clarification from a rehabber or wildlife center to confirm answers.

We do not give cold babies room temp, cow, goat or other milk or fluid.
We do NOT feed cream, breast milk, kitten formula via kitten bottles.
A warm room is NOT sufficient supplemental heat.

Lord knows I try to get back to everybody, but I will not sugarcoat poor care if someone refused to stop actions that are harmful, ..because at the end of the experience… the very animal that someone is trying to find placement and help for, is going to be handed over even sicker and in worse shape.

🏂🍼🐿️🥰
It’s Glokk the skateboard squirrel! Why Glokk??? (Nope sillies.. definitely NOT the gun!)
Cuz.. his Samaritan asked if he could keep the name “Glokk44”.
So yeah, I’m an old broad, used to sing.. play a few instruments, and wildly eclectic musical taste, but rap?? I know diddly squat past the 70’s Bronx break beats/Grandmaster Flash etc🫣
I hope this rapper stands for something good. I know not.
I know this, his rescuer is good people.
The call was late, and he was quite far from me, but I always try to make something work for my Boston/greater Boston callers. (These urbans have a very tough time finding placement.)
The caring young man kept him safe, (after being found on the ground & passed around at a skatepark), made sure he was warm, followed my instructions NOT to continue to feed, and met me next morning. I’m pretty sure Wesley kept him on his chest most the night wrapped in a cuddly bathrobe.☺️)brought him to the outpatient surgical suite I had a procedure last Tuesday!Glokk was in amazingly good shape. No bruises or injuries… Not terribly dehydrated either. He’s a sweet little thing and his eyes opened on Friday night.
Thank you, Wesley you are indeed hope for the future.
I chose a song called ‘Cry Out For Help” by the artist ❤️‍🩹 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Happy Sunday! We hope you too are taking in some good relaxing music, reading, and a leisurely brunch. 📚🎼☕️🎷🎹
We’ve been busy with new intakes and rescues, phone support, transport owls, bunnies, squirrels and more nonstop since last Thursday … so today, we listen to some Jazz and sip some Joe.. feed, clean, feed some more… perhaps one of my lonely books will advance a page 🤭 , , , , , # , , , , , ,

The 2nd intake in the boy-pack, Forest!
Forest was a refer from our dear finder Athena (who has brought us MANY animaks, Squirrels, bunnies, pigeons etc) over the decades.
The caring Samaritan, Lilani, met at Boston Public Library all the way from Millis in awful traffic!
Eyes open, diminutive Forest was in great condition 🥰🍼🐿️

So many cases, so little time to update ya’ll!
Miss. Lizzie was released back home to Boston Common, and that day we had hopes little Joe could buddy with Ozzie, but I learned the swelling and cysts were more awful than possibly imagined… a bacterial and aggressive rheumatological progressive syndrome. I still hurt knowing what pain that beautiful baby lived through.
That fateful day I received Tufty. She is gaining steadily and a nice sister for Ozzie.
Since Saturday, we have received three more, all boys… Silas, with many hurdles to overcome, Forest the only eyes open boy, and G***k.. a little baby and beautiful condition recovered from a skate park. I walked out of a surgical procedure Tuesday to receive him in the parking lot from a lovely Samaritan… Keep updated for posts on all of the babies.

I just saved a bee 🐝!!!
First, I tried a little water… And I put a flower with some pollen… The second or third drops of fresh sugar, water gave him strength …
(I had actually put out a little sugar water right before this video and went back in the house to get a dropper… It certainly did the trick!)

I think I can have a better day now 🥰

Hello Friends… circled around the sun one more year yesterday, and celebrated by a third successful release & rescue of remarkably unique and tough cases. It was a sleep deprived and hard day physically, but rewarding in a way I would never change.. (though i wish I’d had the energy to see my annual (Persiod meteor gift from the heavens!)
The past three years I’ve been more expensive than ever, traveling 160 miles each vet visit, many rescues in Boston. After decades and constant use, we must acquire a proper O2/heated incubator as the soft portable can not accommodate most species. We must replace broken & defective equipment from cat climbers, to mandatory vector treatment area.
As you might recall, last fall gobbled up what we had when our refrigerator/freezer died, and thanks to a few EXTREMELY kind donors we obtained back up.
For my birthday wish this year, my partner posted a fundraiser on his page… Here is the link and I’m hoping we can achieve some of the goal. Without a quarantine area, it will be very difficult to take in raccoons, skunks, and animals who need isolation. At this time I am the only independent rehabber taking vectors on Cape Cod.
Any help is so welcome. We know times are hard.. tough for everybody, but truly, even small donations add up. Please share the link https://www.facebook.com/100064751530921/posts/pfbid02E9MQXfbtjw6cZpS943pSFAxcB3yhcg2XF72bzZXKqzg8B5a6hu3Mdey7aExZsK6Fl/?
