It's that time again friends! I am looking for two or three safe places to release this year's raccoons. You have to have 5 acres of property, some type of water source, and the area cannot be hunted and I would prefer that your neighboring properties do not have corn fields. If you or anyone you know would be able to give our raccoons a safe space to spend the rest of their lives please reach out!

Hi friends! Have to get the storage shed cleaned out so we can start working on the barn and I'm not needing or wanting the majority of these tanks in my life anymore! $5-$20 if you ask me for a specific size I'll go dig otherwise be more than welcome to come take your pick and make a donation to the rescue for them. About half have kids and the other half do not I'm only wanting to keep one 55 gallon and maybe another bigger one in the pile. The rest can go! If one is cracked, you can have it for free, but most are in good condition. Make me an offer 😊

This morning we're off to the vet again! This time with a new face and a familiar one! This little guy was brought me Thursday in really rough shape. The finders found him in a drain and brought him home only to see him go downhill a short time later. He appears to be suffering from head trauma and a nasty infection. I have gotten him back on his feet, eating, and on some meds to help him feel better. Hopefully the vet will give us some answers. Sally girl is also going with to get her sutures removed! I can't wait to put her in "gen pop" with the other kittens!
We need vet help! Bills pile up and I'm at my max for funding. If you can help support either of these kittens, it goes so far towards keeping us going and helping me do what I do over here ❤️

We almost missed five dollar Friday! My social media presence hasn't been huge, but know that we're still going strong over here! Working on getting kittens neutered and spayed, finding their forevers, and gearing up for a huge improvement to our rescue! If everyone spared five dollars, it would pay for our surgeries needed, and keep allowing us to feed the residents here at Rocky start! My handsome man, max says thanks! ❤️

Update for our one eyed wonder kitty! She did amazing and is already back to her kitten antics. I'm currently taking applications for this sweet girl and I just know she will be the best cat! Enjoy this progression of me trying to get a good picture of her without having to hold her lol

The universe gave me these two for national dog day. Poor kiddos were dumped to make room for the puppies they just had. Owners kept them though, of course. She's had puppies very recently and will never see them again, nor her crappy owners, nor will her new owners know their names, or why people are so heartless. Spay and neuter your fu***ng dogs, and for the love of God, stop dumping them when you're through with them. We need zero more pitbulls on this planet. We don't have enough loving homes for the ones here. These dogs were so sweet and so scared. Not to mention filthy and full of fleas. Shame on you, and I hope you're caught and fined. And then step on a Lego every morning forever. Huge thanks to the great facility who helped them and to the officer who met me and took a statement. Ok, off my soap box for tonight.
Love,
Rocky ❤️

It's five dollar Friday and we could use some help! We're raising money for Sallys surgery on Monday, as well as spay and neuter cost for 9 kittens! Thats almost $800 alone! If you can help us out, we would be so grateful! I'm going to post some merch later today as another way you can donate to the rescue.

Guess who is healthy enough and has gained enough weight to undergo her eye surgery? That's right! Sally 🥰 please wish her luck on Monday morning as it's the first day of the rest of her life. This kitten is so funny and so full of love despite her rough start. I can't wait to see her when she's healed up and ready to go home! If you can donate to her surgery, or if you'd like to sponsor hers or any of our spays and neuters, we appreciate it and can use all the help! We are looking to raise $400 for her surgeries!

Hey! Who wants some opossums on their property? I have three ready to blow this pop stand and I'm looking for a safe place for them to land. Requirements are not in town, at least a few acres of safe space for them to live, a natural or mad made water source, no hunting, and if you have chickens they have to be secured properly so these guys don't get themselves in a situation later and be blamed. If you or anyone you know wants a couple little lazy cuties, let me know!

Happy $5 friday! I haven't been posting very much on here lately and to tell you the truth that is because I have been so busy. All of our raccoon babies except for a few who need a little more time are outdoors for their final step before the big release, plans for our new building are falling into place, I recently finished a second raccoon enclosure to accommodate the overflow of raccoons we took in this year, I've been networking a lot with other rehabbers and rescues, and we have six kittens headed out for spay and neuter at the end of this month. That being said we could really use sponsors for spay and neuter! We need $70 per kitten and we currently have nine kittens in rescue! I will be posting pictures of these kittens and if you sponsor one of their spay or neuters you will get naming rights while they're here!

Guess who gets their freedom back today? Harry!! This year has been so hard emotionally with some really tough cases and a lot of babies that came in just too late. when Harry came in, I thought I'd just be making him comfortable and he might go to sleep before I could assess him for injuries. He's an incredibly tough raccoon which is no wonder he's made it so long in the wild! I'm so proud of him and I thank him for letting me take care of him and helping me get through this tough year. Stay tuned for take off photos ❤️

WARNING! pictures are a bit graphic!
Another new face. This little girl came in yesterday with a bad eye and some serious respiratory symptoms. I got her all cleaned up and unfortunately her eye is ruptured and will need surgery to remove. Pictures are before and after clean up and meds! She's so sweet and she's a beautiful cat who will make someone very happy! If you can help out with her vet bills, our links are below.

Two more sweet faces for five dollar Friday! These cuties came in from our friends over at Calhoun County Animal Center and while they are pretty timid, they're healthy and after a bath and some good meals, will do just fine. Watch for these cuties to come up for adoption and to sponsor their neuters, use our links below! The fees for spay/neuter are $85 a piece! Thank you for supporting us and helping us save these sweet faces!

Also new to the rescue is mort! Mort was a pet shop purchase, and although the owners had previous experience with reptiles and loved mort very much, something wasn't right. He's less than a year old and has very severe MBD. Metabolic Bone disease is an extremely painful disease in which the body does not get enough calcium or UVB or a combination of both and the body will begin to pull calcium from the bones which makes them very brittle and has resulted in little mort looking like he was drawn by a child. The disease is painful, and unfortunately not fixable. Our vets will help us determine rather he can be managed and have a good quality of life. He will be off to the vet as soon as possible but for now we are managing the disease the best we can and keeping mort comfortable. So far he's doing well taking syringe feeds! If you'd like to donate to his care, our links are below!

Happy wishlist Wednesday! We've got big things in the works and new additions! I'll introduce everyone over the next week or so but first up is this cute little batch of kittens! These guys were born in a neighborhood, and a kind soul who had been watching them grow noticed mama was injured, and then unfortunately passed before she could get help. Not wanting the kittens to grow up strays like mom, she posted asking for help. Another kind soul transported them here and they're all settled in and will be vetted before going up for adoption! If you're able to help us over here at the rescue, please check out our Amazon wishlist! We've got new reptile faces as well as domestics and wild ones so we need all kinds of supplies! Thank you!

Hi friends! It's $5 Friday and we need all the help we can get over here. Us and all surrounding rescues are over full and we are having to turn down babies because we don't have the time the space or the resources to bottle feed all of these sweet little babies. I'm doing everything I can to come off of intake hold very soon but in the meantime we need help with donations. If you can donate $5 today it really adds up and it goes a long way and helping us do what we love to do. Also, if you are interested in rehab, learning more about being a rehabilitator, and live within an hour of me feel free to message me or comment on this post. We need more rehabbers we simply don't have enough to sustain the workload. Have a great weekend! https://cash.app/$RockyStartRescue
Hi friends! We are just over 45 intakes here at the rescue and after vet bills and the first few stock ups for baby season, we are tapped! We need some help financially as I'm burning through raccoon formula and squirrel blocks! Not toe tip vaccines, and soon wet puppy food! If you can help us get these guys to release, It is so appreciated! Thank you! https://cash.app/$RockyStartRescue
Hi friends! Happy five dollar Friday! If you can donate $5 to the rescue today, it will go towards vaccines that we need for the raccoons we rehab this year! https://cash.app/$RockyStartRescue
Rats make awesome pets! Ask us, we'll tell you!
It five dollar Friday! Donations are down always this time of year, and we could use all the help we can get! We are currently taking care of 50 animals at the rescue that are either being overwintered before release, permanent surrenders, or are waiting for their forever homes! If you can help in any way it adds up for us! https://cash.app/$RockyStartRescue
We lost a friend at the rescue today. Chris, our resident old grumpy man, passed away today. The past few weeks he had been slowing down tremendously and I had been syringe feeding him to make sure he was still getting his proper nutrition. He came to us about 2 years ago as an already old dragon, who refused food. He was already vet prescribed critical care because of this. Slowly with proper food choices and a proper environment, I had him eating veggies and bugs on his own. I knew my time with him was borrowed when he arrived and I'm so happy to have had him healthy and happy as long as I did. He was loved here by everyone. The most relaxed dragon I have ever met. Thanks for sharing the last few years of your life with us, Chris p. ❤️
Hi friends! Our bottle kittens are still doing well and eating so much! We are down to our last can of kitten formula. If you can send us a can to the rescue or cash app us some funds to buy some more we would appreciate it! https://cash.app/$RockyStartRescue https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2CY5C21QD49SA?ref_=wl_share
Pretty neat what a little TLC and proper care can do. The kittens are doing great. 😊 if you'd like to donate to their care (which isn't cheap!) Please do so below or send us some goodies for them this wishlist Wednesday https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2CY5C21QD49SA?ref_=wl_share https://www.chewy.com/g/rocky-start-rescue_b114784251 https://www.squirrelsandmore.com/a/wishlist/6705848418523 https://cash.app/$RockyStartRescue
One more release! These guys were my bottle babies from earlier this year. Seeing them run off made my heart feel so good. They were ready to live their lives! Thank you Jamie Flynn for the release and to Robert for wrangling them up this morning!
We did our first release of the year yesterday! This is the BEST part of rehabbing. These animals get to live their lives and serve their purpose because we as rehabbers are trained and able to step in and give them another shot. The human race impedes on nature and it's wildlife all too much, but it really feels like you are making a difference when you get to see them through to release. Have a great life, kiddos ❤️
