Hello all!
I am in Queens, NYC and looking for a rehabber for a baby squirrel. He is (in my estimation, but I'm no expert) 6-10 weeks old. He's furry and eats on his own, with no apparent injuries or health issues. I found him today on a busy sidewalk, he was following humans around and venturing into the street. I observed him for a while and became very concerned that he would be hit by a car. I was referred to an animal hospital on Long Island who gave me a list of local rehabbers, but the ones I contacted were overwhelmed and unable to take in any more squirrels. He's currently sleeping in a box in my apartment, but I need to find someone who is equipped to care for him. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Charles kindly returned my message and he is full. I have tried calling local organizations (Wild Bird Fund, Urban Utopia, Volunteers for Wildlife) as well as a few other rehabbers that they have referred me to and no one is accepting squirrels.
Reaching out here again in the hope that someone is able to take him in, or point me in the direction of someone who can. I want the best for this sweet little guy!I have a car and am able to travel to get him somewhere safe! Can anyone help????
I will try to post a pic. 304444

Yes, we will be bringing him to Barb later this evening! Yay Barb!!! I'm SO happy to know that this baby will be getting the care he needs and will be on the path to being a free and happy adult squirrel in the wild one day. My brief experience with the community of rehabbers has been so inspiring and heartwarming- you folks are the best, and I have so much respect for the work you do!!! Thank you!
