Back in February, we started a Pox Fund for the pox-afflicted squirrels in several areas of Florida. The money was used for gas to transport the squirrels to rehabbers, and for medicine to treat them. The funds have all been spent, but there are still desperately ill squirrels who need meds. http://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15897

The pox squirrels and our members who are caring for them need our help immediately. All of your donations will go toward medicines. The pox-afflicted squirrels are no longer being trapped and transported. They are being treated on site with better results because the squirrels are not being stressed by trapping, transportation and a new envionment.

Any contributions to the pox fund would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me by private message, and I will give you my paypal information or my home address. I will see that every penny gets to where it is needed.

Here are some pictures of Patches before and during treatment. Your donations made a difference in Patches recovery. Thank you TSB!!

... Pox Fund for the pox-afflicted squirrels ..... Any contributions to the pox fund would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me by private message, and I will give you my paypal information or my home address. I will see that every penny gets to where it is needed.

:( :( Pammy's Paypal is SO LONELY!!! It really really needs your visits! :D :poke

Seriously -- we are seeing outbreaks of pox in other areas, not just the Keys or even Florida, and are trying to make sure all needy squirrels can get the meds and immune support we believe they need to fight this.
Meds, etc have been purchased and in some cases whisked off to where they are needed :tomcat --- but this is expensive. Those that have the burden of caring for sick animals should not also bear the financial burden if we can help them out. This is an extraordinary situation and not standard squirrel-care.

ANY amount that you can help out with will be greatly appreciated and will be used specifically for this cause. If we each share a little, it will pay for the meds, etc. that have been and will be purchased. Please "pay" (:D ) Pam's Paypal a visit so it's not so lonely, and we can help the squirrels in need. :Love_Icon

Hi Pam, I mailed something to you today, in memory of my beloved Pointy via snail mail:), it is nowhere near your anonymous donor but I sincerely hope it can help these beautiful souls…
My envelope had “Get Well Soon” on it, so you know it’s me:) Just let me know if it arrives.

Thank you for all you do for these beautiful squirrels, it is remarkable how far they have come from the first set of photos.

Wishing you all the best.

Donations of ANY amount are equally wonderful and appreciated, though -- every amount makes it that much easier to get the meds, etc. to the squirrels who need them. :thumbsup :thumbsup
