I need someone to re-home a likely NR in Michigan. (I will cover ALL costs, ongoing)

[Sadachara]

Hello,

Due to health issues I cannot really properly care for a 12 month old Fox Squirrel I raised from 4 weeks. She is a wonderful girl, but she is 'angry' with my 4 month hospitalization, and then lack of ability to properly handle her post hospitalization. So she isn't overly friendly with me anymore. She is not violent, but her displeasure is abundantly evident.

I am looking to re-home her in Michigan. Is anyone able to help? She means a LOT to me so a proper home is very important for me. I can offer to pay for her food each year (in advance) without a problem, so her care would have little to no associated costs. I can even offer a double size Midwest cage and associated care items as part of the package but I have NO ability to move/haul this - it would have to be picked up.

She is in very good health now, and getting the proper care and diet, but due to some issues beyond my control I cannot safely and physically tend to her needs. Is anyone able to assist or know someone that could assist? Once again, I will guarantee little to no associated costs for any of this, including her long term care and happiness.

Thank you in advance.

I'm sorry to hear your not feeling well 😔
It's a kind soul to do what's right for your baby and I know you love her 💕
I'm hoping to bump your thread so others see it and possibly find her a good home.
Just a thought I wouldn't limit it to only someone in Michigan, people have been known to form "squirrel trains" helping to relocate a squirrel to just the right furever home 😁
Adding her picture would be great if you can😃

Thank you, I will place a call. As I said, I will be more than happy to cover all costs - ongoing.

I just want her to have a good home and I cannot provide for her like I could before my accident.

Checking in to see if you have any new updates🤞🙏

I'm located in Maryland but I'd be willing to take her in.

Hello all,

I wanted to provide an update. I am sorry for the delay, I have been very busy rehabbing myself back to some normalcy.

I decided to 'stick it out' with my foxy. Long story short, I undertook rehabbing myself with a stellar diet, supplements, proper exercise, quality rest and meditation, and I am happy to declare I am mostly back to normal and fully capable of taking care of my foxy once again.

There is an even better update. After several months my foxy realized I was not going to leave her again and started to warm back up to me. I assume she was suffering an extreme case of seperation anxiety and it just took time for her to get over it. But she is warm enough to me now that I can enjoy the luxury of letting her out in a 700sq foot floor she has all to herself for as long as she needs it, and for as many days of the week as she would like. (she doesn't want out all of the time, just every other day or so for a long session) She FINALLY lets me touch her again and her aggression has fully subsided. We're fully back into our old routines and I can tell she is really enjoying it, and missed my company during my extended absense.

Due to her slight handicap I cannot ever release her, even though she is very good at 'covering up' her disability it's obvious it would result in a very short lifespan in the wild. Also, given the recent events with authorities taking squirrels and killing them (execution, not euthanization), she needs my protection/love/support/care more than ever before. I appreciate all of the incredible offers but I think we're good now. She is a very special girl to me, she and I both make each others day brighter, and now we are getting back to some normalcy.

I think in the end, she HELPED me recovery, with a drive to get back to normalcy with myself so I can get her back to normalcy in her interactions with me.

Sadachara, it is warming to hear that you will stay together with your foxy. This surely seems the best possible outcome for both of you. Also up is a hearty congratulations for taking control of your own life and doing a miraculous "180." That is a horrifically difficult thing to do. A lot of people won't try, and of those who do, most quit before they find success. You clearly have emerged a winner, and your family stays together as a result. Genuinely, congratulations.
