With the recent storms, we have had several wildlife orphans brought to us for care. Here are some pictures:

2 baby squirrels – 5 weeks old. 3 were found drowning in the gutter during a heavy rainstorm in Oakland, CA on March 5th 2016. 1 survived and is doing well.

This baby squirrel was knocked from his nest when he was less than 1 day old. He was laying on the sidewalk being eaten by ants when he was found by a caring family who picked him up, cleaned him off, and called our wildlife center. That was on February 27th 2016

This eyes-closed baby opossum is one of 7 who were saved after their mother was killed by a backyard dog.
