Good afternoon!!

As everyone knows we have moved to a new building and are working on getting outdoor enclosures set up for some of our rescues as well as long term residents!!

We would appreciate if anyone would be willing to donate for us to buy or have any used outdoor pens we could have!!

Right now tractor supply has their chicken coops 50% off and that $199 for this one here but the deal is only for today!!

We have found some outdoor kennels online we can order for a good price that are $220 a peice and we need at least 2 right now!!

We appreciate any help we can get for our rescue and this will be of huge help to us by giving us more room for intakes!!

Thank you everyone!!

BUBBA UPDATE!!

Bubba did great at the vet today and tolerated everything we did! Poor baby has a cracked soft palette and a broken tooth. Luckily when we got him yesterday after meds he slept really hard allowing his body much needed rest and a good exam. His concussion symptoms have decreased greatly overnight and he was alert and had clear eyes in the morning❤️
The vet prescribed new meds and bed rest for the time being as we watch his progress. He'll go back in a month to see how he's healing!!

We are INCREDIBLY grateful for the amount of donations we recived, it was enough to pay for his full vet bill and has giving us the ability to take on another severely injured opossum that needed us ❤️ we will post him tomorrow after his vet appointment so look out for Mr. Almond!❤️

And to those who commented and messaged us that we needed to/should just euthanize bubba. He does not need those bad vibes!! Those decisions will always be left between us and our vet. Photos and a post does not give you all knowing information.

Now enjoy a little bubba 😍

Please everyone, PLEASE WATCH THE ROAD!!
Winter is coming and animal are looking for shelter and foraging. Young adults are learning the rules of the world. Asphalt stays warm from the roads and attracts animals. Please be careful! STOP!!

If you do end up hitting an animal, CALL A RESCUE!! Check if the animal is still ALIVE!! Carefully move them to the side of the road.
NO ANIMAL DESERVES THIS!!!

We got a call this morning for a hit opossum. We have limited cages and all are full currently.
We are also very tight on funds right now sense moving buildings.
We directed them to contact someone else and provided numbers.
Unfortunately we are all FULL and we all work FULL TIME. Rescue is NOT cheap.

I couldn't help myself and drove by to see if anyone had picked him up a few hours later. I almost didn't see him in the grass but lucky I did.

This is an older opossum that weighs easily 15lbs, they only live to be able 5 years old. He shouldn't have to be dealing with this pain. I took him home unsure on where I'd put him but we figured it out our rehab room is just a bit tight now.

He's now on bed rest and meds. He will see a vet in the morning, I can already see his jaw is likely fractured, teeth are broken, and he has a major concussion.

If you would like to donate to his care u can at:

Side note: I'm thinking the name bubba 🤔

I clencheth the power so that I may go forth and protect my home from the bad dreams and snores!!
Fun fact: Opossums have strong feet muscles and a extra toe with no nail that acts as their "thumb" to help them climb as they are arboreal species. Their feet clench during sleep to ensure they do not fall if they are sleeping up high.
Fred just dreams of vengeance though.

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our sweet velma. Though she had a short life with us she lite up ours and many others lives. She will be greatly missed and loved forever.

Cancer is common in ferrets and many times untreatable. We did our best to make her comfortable till the end.
