So, a couple of days ago one of our past volunteers saw a Facebook post about a mom opossum hit by a car and in the middle of the road with babies climbing on her. She was so worried about them and tried reaching out to find out where they were. When she got there it looked like somebody moved mom to the side but did nothing more than that. Unfortunately babies were running in the road and succumb to the same fate as mom. The good news is Jeni got there in time to save 4 of them. She brought them to us and was so happy we felt they would do well. They are in great condition and now eating very well and seem very happy. Well, as happy as an Opossum can be I guess.
Please take the time to see if babies are around mom if you find yourself in this situation. We may not always be able to go out for the rescue; however, we have great past and present volunteers who are willing to step in and help.
Here is poor mama and her babies as Jeni found them. Then a couple days later looking sassy as they should.
