Looking for VA Rehabber

[weAREtheirVOICE]

I have a female squirrel that is going on 3 months, and I need to find someone to give her the best chance at a normal life. we live in an apt complex, and needless to say they wont allow me to have a release cage outside for her- not to mention the streets and cats in the area. transportation isnt a problem, I can get her wherever she needs to go. so if anyone can take her in, please let me know! :thankyou

*p.s.- I have plenty of food and other supplies to go with her

I am in VA and know a great place to take them.

[weAREtheirVOICE]

Im in Fredericksburg, about an hour from Richmond. Krawls, if you know someone, I really would be grateful if you could help us get in touch!

she needs a slow, soft-release. she loves attention from people, but doesnt really show much affection towards us. I think she sees us more as toys than anything else. she would make a perfect backyard squirrel for someone without dogs.

The place I use is Blue Ridge Wildlife Center.
They are wonderful!

Blue Ridge W.C. is pretty far from where you are so I have three suggestions.

1. Send a PM to Chickenlegs who lives near Richmond and she can do a very slow soft release for you and probably keep feeding through the winter.

2. Call a rehabber from the following website that is closer by and does soft releases.

3. Sandra Green in Calverton has a good setup for soft-releasing. Her number is 540-788-4138. She was very nice last year when I brought my first two greys to her.

thank you so much! the BRWC is definitely a good ways out, but its a good option. I sent a pm to Chickenlegs, and Ill give Sandra a call today too. hopefully one of them will be able to take her in :squirrel1

Atlantasquirrelgirl is in Richmond all this week - she MIGHT be able to help too.

I don't have any supplies with me, or a release cage here. It's a shame, because I have an awesome release site in Midlothian; 6 wooded acres.

atlanta that sounds amazing....

so how long are you there....?

when you go home could they supply you with a cage and some food for her?

would that work for you?


:thumbsup

SG .

miriam regarding SG did you ever go back and check on how they were doing... like if that cage they had for them got wet when it rained... nest boxes etc....

i was one of the ones that totally freaked out over their setup .... i had impressions of rusty nails sticking out and dirty bowls etc... although ofcourse i was expecting something closer to squirrel disney land...:dono

is there any way I could send her with you on your way back? I have food, water bottles, chew toys, etc that she would need for the trip. I would even buy an all metal carry crate for you to take her in if you could

I cannot legally release her in Georgia. However, if you want to soft release at my Midlothian house, you are welcome to do that. Would probably be better for her to find somebody with a release cage, though. Pinky Mamma lives here, too. She may be able to help. What part of RIC do you live in?

[weAREtheirVOICE]

Im actually in Fredericksburg, but Richmond isnt too far off for me to go

[atlantasquirrelgirl]

I'll send you my phone number so we can talk about options for her.
