[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Meet Geronimo, the squirrel. His mom passed leaving him orphaned.  Jamie could not leave the little critter to die so she took him in.  Follow his progress below from his rescue to his release.   His story is listed by the the dates.  His story is not over yet, but we will keep adding updates until after he is released.

He will be released at Jamie and Dr. Justin’s home which is where Jamie originally found him. They have about an acre along a waterway. Lots of natural space. Jamie plans on doing a soft release where you leave the cage door open and continue to feed him as long as he needs.

Jamie: He has been doing very well since his rescue 10 days ago. This is a photo of him on his first day.

Viewer Questions on this post:

Dare I ask how mom passed? A big kitty cat perhaps?

  • She was found at the base of her tree. Not at the sanctuary. At my own house. No obvious injuries. Possibly clipped by a car.

Jamie: Geronimo is growing so fast. He is getting more fur each day.

Keeper Marie: Karma Lynn Hurworth is such a good mom… Geronimo and Sushi know… ❤❤❤ (BTW, Sushi is a domestic kitty)

Waiting for this keeper video to get to me, then will post it.  It is a video of Karma feeding Geronimo.  Currently it is on Karma’s Facebook

Viewer Questions on this post:

What do you feed him? I’m not aware of squirrel milk replacement being a thing…? He is getting so big!

  • He is on a puppy milk replacer.

Are you going to release him, or keep him?

  • I will release him in my backyard where he was found once he is big enough. I will also continue to provide him food and water for as long as he needs it.

Great job! What will happen to him when he’s older – will it be possible to release him back into the wild or has he become too humanised??

  • I will do a soft release at my home where he was found. Meaning eventually his cage door will be opened, but I will continue to give him food and water as long as he comes back for it.

Any idea when his eyes will open? (Or maybe they already have and he has just closed them as he blissfully eats.

  • Approximately 5 weeks old, he is just shy of that now, about 4.5 weeks old.

Jamie: Geronimo is getting bigger each day and his eyes are starting to open now!

Viewer Questions on this post:

Will you be releasing him back to the wild?

  • He has a lot more growing to do and will need to be taught what things are good to eat first.

So adorable, does he go to work with you?

  • Yes. He has to be fed multiple times a day.

Will Geronamo be able to be released back into the wild ?

  • Yes, once is big enough.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]UPDATE – APRIL 17, 2018

A lot of people have been asking for a Geronimo update. She is doing great. Now that the weather is warmer the doors to the screen porch where her enclosure is have been opened and she has freedom to come and go. She is cautious and explores a little at a time then she heads back to her favorite spot, her hammock. She will continue to have access to her enclosure for as long as she wants. Videos coming soon.
