    Default My cat just brought me a flying squirrel! HELP!

    No injuries that I can see and this is the best picture I could get. I’m not sure how old or what to do. And it’s been raining al day so he’s wet from being in the yard. Name:  03A7C4CD-F722-44E8-93C0-D65371BFC945.jpg

    Normally we suggest anti biotics with cat caught however, this is an adult, appears healthy and alert.
    Although "supposedly" this time of year is not a breeding season I question the exposed nipples and
    wonder if she could be nursing. Flyers are nocturnal, they live in colonies. Personally I'd take her back
    outside, put her on a tree, and let her go! Keep the cat inside!

    Yes, definitely an adult. When the weather clears, free Willy.

    It’s still overcast but the rain is gone so I took her to the tree we think she may have been in and it took her a minute but she took off up the tree. I’m just glad she wasn’t hurt.
