Though we know nothing about squirrels we stepped up to the plate to help this tiny little one get to where he needed to go. We went online and did a little research on what to feed and how much to feed and a few other things. It was determined that it was a little boy and he was all feet.

A few weeks back we were asked to help with a small injured kitten. She was only about 12 weeks old and was in desperate need of medical attention. She was immediately rushed to the vet where they stayed late to treat her. At the vet there were no visible injuries to our little girl on the exterior other than the fact we could tell she was in pain.
