Need to rehab a squirrel in the Rochester, NY area

[Dschmidt]

First off, i'm torn to do this. I've grown such an attachment to the animal that most people don't understand. I'm so busy with work that I really have no time to spend with it. I found it in front of my house, corned by my cat. I've been raising and taking care of it for the past year. I understand why they shouldn't be "pets". It completely took over my room, I cannot even sleep in there anymore. It roams freely in my room while i'm at work all day. It's basically destroyed / chewed through everything in my room. Including my TV. I just don't think this is the life it deserves. Shes very sweet, but doesnt like anybody else but me. I have thought about releasing it in my backyard many times. I've done enough research to realize that this is not even an option. I fear that it will crawl up somebody and attack them. It's domesticated and I'm not sure if I could un-domesticate it. I just need some help if anybody knows anyone in this area. Thank you.

Contact nkkritters a member of the board. I think she is around your area. I could be wrong. :thinking
Explain this situation to her, and see if she can help.
She is a licensed rehabber.

This can be done in the right hands and with the right person. We have seen it before.
Thank you for realizing this is not the life he deserves, living in a bedroom.
