Sometimes you find stray turkeys and have to stand guard until their owner comes to get them. 🦃🦃💕

Someone posted about a stray chicken downtown, so off we went on a rescue mission. Baby is now being fixed up and safe in a foster home who is adopting them if no owner comes forward.

Definitely one of the more interesting side quests we’ve gotten! 🐔💕

Little heart tails. 🩷

Quick photo taken Tuesday of newest intakes. They were cleaned up, rehydrated, and got moved to a nice nursery incubator. #NotPets #Squirrel #WildlifeRehabilitation #WildlifeRehab

New intakes yesterday! 4 orphaned raccoons.

Their mother was found deceased and a kind person reached out for a rehabber to help her babies. Excited to welcome them to the crew! #NotPets #WildlifeRehab #WildlifeRehabilitation #Raccoon

Baby #squirrel siblings are slowly getting fuzzy! They keep me busy, so I haven’t been able to post every day to show it, but they’re making steady progress. 💕 #NotPets #GreySquirrel #WildlifeRehabilitation #WildlifeRehab

First babies of the season came in yesterday! These grey #squirrel babies were orphaned when their tree was cut down. If possible, felling trees should be left until after nesting season (typically March-August in the U.S.) to avoid displacing wildlife. #WildlifeRehab #WildlifeRehabilitation

Spotted a previous #TNR #cat on a walk today! The ear tip helps identify her as spayed. So glad to see she is doing well! 🥰

Long day capturing many cats for #TNR! These cats don’t enjoy human contact/wouldn’t do well indoors, so the kindest thing is to get them spayed/neutered to stop adding to overpopulation and lower their health risks. This colony is monitored by a lovely caretaker working to keep them safe. 💕 #cat
